Property investment terms, glossary 1

A starter glossary for some of the "stuff" that we talk about in property.

Have your calculators ready to follow along as Stuart and Simon discuss and define a number of the basic financial terms that are commonly used in property investment.

The key terms covered in this episode are:

• Yield of the "gross" and "net" form.
• Mortgage, along with Loan to Value (LTV).
• Return on Investment (ROI), or should it be Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)?
• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).
• Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
• Cash flow.

There's also a slight diversion discussing the property holy grail - a deal with no money left in!
