Property

Our expert property accountants specialise in advising landlords on how to comply with tax law without overpaying tax. From capital gains tax to allowable expenses for landlords, we’ve got the knowledge to help you make the most of your property investments.

You might have one flat or a house, or maybe several. You might even be a property developer who has renovated an entire block, or built one from scratch. Or maybe you’ve got an Airbnb or furnished holiday let in the country or by the coast. Whatever the size or type of your property business, our team can make tax and compliance less of a burden.

For some clients, it’s all about getting their tax return done as quickly and simply as possible. If property is an additional source of income for you, not your day job, it might be the only reason you have to do a personal income tax self-assessment return. We’ll look after that, making sure you claim reliefs and allowances to minimise your bill, and get it filed well ahead of the HMRC deadline.

We also give advice on property strategy. As tax rules change, and the market shifts, you might want to switch from student letting to long-term rental, or from long-term letting to holiday accommodation. We’ll help you work through the tax implications of each approach and help you stay on the right side of the rules.

If you’re buying or selling property, we’ll help you work out the pros and cons of different ownership structures and the timing of your acquisition or disposal. Capital gains tax (CGT) is likely to be incurred when you sell and stamp duty land tax (SDLT) applies when you buy but there are ways to manage their impact.
