In the last three weeks the portfolio is up about £16k, all tax free, no tax returns to declare it on, and to think some people think buy-to-let is the way to go, what with all the costs and expenses, like insurance, gas safety certificates, electrical safet testing, bad tenants, eviction costs, stress, empty months, new neighbours to the rental property problems, new building s nearby, bad workmanship on new builds where the NHBC is absolutely worthless, you have more consumer rights on a tin of baked beans than a new build! A nice simple balanced portfolio in an ISA does it for me.

Have a good one folks and maybe one of these is your best bet - now what lies under the last remaining £?
