What's the most effective strategy to minimise IHT on my buy-to-let portfolio worth £1.5M, considering I have a main residence and want to pass properties to my children without selling them?
Quick Answer
Minimising IHT on a £1.5M buy-to-let portfolio without selling involves leveraging Nil Rate Bands, gifting mechanisms, and potentially corporate structuring. Residential investment property rarely qualifies for Business Property Relief, making proactive planning crucial to reduce the 40% IHT liability.
