Property income reporting, landlord bookkeeping, tax compliance, capital gains calculations and property portfolio support.
Overview
How we help with Landlord & Property Tax
Property tax has changed substantially — mortgage interest relief, the reporting window on residential capital gains, and the incorporation question all catch landlords out.
We prepare your rental accounts and property pages, applying the finance cost restriction correctly, distinguishing repairs from capital improvements, and claiming the reliefs available including replacement of domestic items. For portfolios we report by property so you can see which ones actually earn their place.
On disposals, UK residential property gains must be reported and paid within a tight window after completion. We calculate the gain, apply available reliefs and handle the reporting so the deadline is not missed.

FAQs
Landlord & Property Tax — common questions
How quickly must I report a property sale?
Gains on UK residential property must be reported and the tax paid within sixty days of completion. Missing that window brings penalties even if the tax is eventually paid.
Should I hold property through a company?
Sometimes. It can help with finance cost relief and retained profits, but brings extra cost, and moving existing properties in can trigger Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty. We run the comparison on your portfolio.
How is your fee worked out?
Fixed fee, agreed before we start. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your business, so get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.
Can you help if we're switching from another accountant?
Yes. We handle professional clearance with your previous accountant and update the agent authorisations with HMRC and Companies House, so you don't have to manage the handover.
