What is an SPV and why do we have them?

I hear many people talking about SPVs but I’ve come to realise that there’s a lot of confusion surrounding what an SPV actually is. Many people imagine than an SPV is a separate type of entity in its own right. But this is wrong..

An SPV is really just a generic name for any entity that you choose for a particular purpose. It could be a limited company, an LLP; or partnership. It doesn't really matter – an SPV is really just saying that there is an entity which has been used for a specific reason, ie, a limited company for buying property.

In this video I talk about SPVs – what they are and why we have them – and consider why most investors in the UK are using limited companies to purchase property.

By the way, I’ve rewritten and updated my best selling ebook, The Successful Property Investor’s Strategy Workshop, which is an account of how I put together my multi-property portfolio, starting from scratch and with no money of my own, and how you can do the same.
