FAQs - Accountant for Property

How should I structure my property business for long-term success?

Key considerations include choosing whether to hold property personally or via a limited company, grouping properties by rental type or geographic region, planning for growth, cash-flow forecasts, tax implications of each structure, and ensuring alignment with your exit or inheritance plan.

What is the difference between income tax and corporation tax for property businesses?

If you hold property personally in a let property business, profits are subject to income tax. If you hold property via a limited company, the profits are subject to corporation tax and different rules apply for extracting profits. Our accountants will advise based on your scale, financing and growth plans.

How can property investors optimise their SDLT liability?

Strategies may include timing purchases, choosing the right holding structure, considering whether property is residential or commercial (different reliefs), transferring property between entities, and using reliefs like multiple dwellings relief or mixed-use relief. Our specialist accountants will highlight opportunities.

What depreciation rules apply to UK property portfolios?

In the UK, the tax rules on “depreciation” are different, for example you may claim capital allowances on plant & machinery in a commercial property, but for most residential let property there is no direct depreciation deduction. Keeping a detailed fixed-asset schedule is important.

What allowable expenses can a property landlord or investor claim?

Typical allowable expenses include letting agent fees, insurance, repairs & maintenance (not improvements), accountancy/legal fees, interest on loans (subject to restrictions for residential), utilities (if paid by landlord), and mileage/travel (if wholly business).

What should I consider when choosing an accountant for my property business?

Choose an accountant experienced with property investors/landlords, who asks questions about your portfolio, keeps balance sheets and fixed-asset registers, understands tax and CGT issues, engages in proactive planning and uses property-specific software/tools.

How do I plan for inheritance tax and protecting my property legacy?

Consider structures such as holding properties in companies or trusts (with professional advice), use of reliefs (e.g., business property relief), gifting strategies, and maintaining proper valuations and records. Our property specialist accountantd can help create a tailored plan.

How does HMRC treat the sale of a property in a portfolio?

Any profit on disposal may attract capital gains tax (CGT) for individuals or corporation tax for companies (and potentially dividend tax on extraction). Base costs, stamp duty, improvements and reliefs (e.g., let-property relief) all impact the calculation. Ensure accurate cost tracking.
