    Hi there,
    Hope somebody can help answer this –

    Scenario : 2 investment properties both on P & I loans, not very tax efficient so plan is to remortgage property A on an Interest only loan and do some capital raising to pay off property B (it is not easy to remortgage property B as it is an overseas property). Does anybody know if it possible to claim full tax relief on the new mortgage (which would be interest only) as it was not for personal use, as such, but used for investment purposes?

    Many thanks for any help with this query

    Best to seek specific taxation advice from an accountant on that one.

    Cheers

    Generally refinancing a loan (not a mortgage) won’t affect the deductibility of interest. However if you borrow more money the interest on this will only be deductible if it is used for investment purposes or business purposes.
