Specialist tax and accounting for UK property investors and developers.

Property has its own tax rules, its own structures and its own traps. From buy-to-let landlords navigating Section 24 to developers managing complex project accounts — you need an accountant who understands property from the inside, not one who treats it as a standard set of accounts.

The problem

Property tax is complex. Getting it wrong is expensive.

Property has its own tax rules at every stage — purchase, income, sale and succession. A general accountant who doesn't specialise in property can miss reliefs, misclassify costs and give advice that costs you far more than their fee saves.

Sound familiar?

  • I always seem to owe more tax than I expected
  • I'm not sure if I should hold property personally or in a company
  • Section 24 has significantly increased my tax bill
  • I own property and a business — and no one joins the dots
  • I'm not confident my development project accounts are correct
  • I don't have a clear plan for passing on property wealth

Tax saving on a single case

Case study · Property developer · Lancashire

A £230,000 tax bill — reduced to £30,000.

A previous accountant had calculated a £230,000 liability on a ten-year, ten-property development. The income had been misclassified as revenue rather than capital. The correct figure was £30,000.

“The difference wasn't aggressive avoidance. It was knowing the correct treatment — and having an accountant who took the time to understand the full history of the project.”
