Buying a house via a company has pros and cons. Consider tax implications (capital gains, income tax, VAT), asset protection (especially for business owners), joint ownership issues, and the costs/complexities of running a company. Hidden risks exist, like undisclosed liabilities. Transfer duty is payable even when buying a "residential property company's" shares, not just the property directly. Professional advice is crucial.
