Definitions

Noun
  1. 1
    A property of this kind. UK

    "That doesn’t mean property is untouchable from a CGT standpoint. An easier target will be second homes and buy-to-lets; the CGT rate could be aligned with income tax rates – at 20%, 40% and 45% – meaning that the tax take on buy-to-let disposals would rise sharply."

Adjective
  1. 1
    Describing, or relating to, a property bought as an investment, the purchaser letting it to others rather than living in it. UK, not-comparable
