Investment property: Scotland LP
We act on the buyer's side: shortlist, checks, end-to-end deal support.
Scotland is part of the UK with its own legal system and its own rules for property transactions: purchases go through a sealed-bid system (offers over) and an exchange of formal letters (missives), and instead of English stamp duty there is a local tax, LBTT, with a surcharge on additional dwellings. Foreigners can buy property without restrictions - from apartments in Edinburgh and Glasgow to Highland estates. A purchase does not grant residency: the UK investor visa closed in 2022. A distinctive feature of the jurisdiction is the Scottish Limited Partnership: unlike its English counterpart, it has separate legal personality and can hold assets directly, including real estate, which makes it a workable structuring tool - subject to UK transparency requirements and registers of controlling interests.
We help you choose the property and the strategy, work with local solicitors on title checks and legal due diligence, calculate the tax side of the deal, including LBTT and surcharges, and build the ownership structure - personal, corporate or through a Scottish LP where your situation justifies it. On immigration we are straightforward: UK property is an asset, not a visa route.
