Money Box Live: Buy-to-let & furnished holiday lets

BBC Radio 4's Money Box Live Wednesday, 20 April 2011 at 1502 BST on Radio 4 and Online Listen to the programme Programme transcript (23 pages)

The tax rules about furnished holiday lettings are changing this month and the rules about which properties qualify will be amended in 2012.

If you want to find out about the new rules or about the tax treatment for a holiday or buy-to-let property you can call or e-mail the programme.

To work out whether there is a good financial return on your investment you will also need to consider mortgage costs, interest rates and stamp duty.

Once you have found a suitable property you may have a question about marketing costs, presentation or accessibility and safety.

Where can you find guidance about regulation, legislation or accreditation?
