Claiming pre-letting mortgage costs on first rental property

Claiming pre-letting mortgage costs on first...

Didn't find your answer?

She didn't let for the first 3 months - Is the interest allowable given she did not have a pre-existing letting business? Also there are costs of getting the buy-to-let mortgage set up which she wants included? I don't believe they are allowable...

Additionally she bought items furniture and understands that she cannot claim for these, but hired a van to transport them and wants to claim for that?

I think she can claim both of them

The test is not when the expenditure was incurred (assuming that it was incurred no more than 7 years before commencement), but why the expenditure was incurred.
