Our Experts Answer:
The short answer is 'it depends'. There is a process to go through to determine this, and one that can't be 'shortcut'. It will mostly depend on how much the rental property has increased relative to your purchase price (and mortgage). Make sure you see an accountant who specialises in property in order to ensure it is done correctly.Kenina Court is a director of Acorn Solutions Limited, an accounting firm dedicated to working with clients to help them create wealth.
