Property Tax Doesn't Have to Be Complicated

Section 24 mortgage relief restrictions. Limited company vs personal ownership. Capital gains on sales. Client money regulations. Property investment brings serious tax questions - and the answers depend entirely on your specific situation. We help landlords and letting agents navigate the complexity with clear advice tailored to your portfolio.

Your Property Investment Journey

Every property investor follows a path, but the financial and tax complexities grow at each stage. Here’s how we help you navigate every step.

  • FIRST PROPERTY

    Single residential property investment with house keys
    Learning the Basics

    Your first property investment comes with questions: How is rental income taxed? Which expenses can you claim? How do mortgage interest restrictions affect your profits?
    We guide you through tax rules, identify deductible expenses, and structure your finances so your first property is profitable and compliant.

  • BUILDING PORTFOLIO

    Multiple rental properties in UK property portfolio
    The Structure Question

    Owning three, five, ten properties raises bigger questions: Should you keep them in your personal name or set up a limited company? How much is Section 24 affecting your returns?
    We advise on the best ownership structure, model the tax impact, and make sure you’re taking advantage of allowances and reliefs to protect your portfolio’s profitability.

  • PROPERTY BUSINESS

    Professional Scale

    At this stage, you’re managing service charges, planning disposals to reduce capital gains tax, handling client money compliance, or expanding into development. Your portfolio is now a full-scale business.
    We provide strategic tax planning, ensure regulatory compliance, optimise profits, and support you with the financial management needed to run your property business confidently.
