Paul Merriman, founder of the Ask Paul brand, explains why buying a property with the intention of selling it again in just 5 years may not be the smart financial move you think it is. Between stamp duty, solicitor fees, estate agent fees and the other costs involved in buying and selling, you could end up losing a significant amount of money even if the property itself increases in value.
