Just a reminder that new property rules have come into effect from 1 October 2015 and the biggest impact is the addition of a “capital gains” tax on properties if you buy and sell within a 2 year time-frame. There is a main home exemption, however this can also fall under the new rules if you’re regularly upgrading.
