FAQs

How do I declare rental income and expenses?

We prepare your SA100/SA105 or CT600, reconcile everything to bank and agent statements, and file on time as your HMRC agent.

What expenses can I claim to reduce tax?

We'll advise on allowable costs including repairs, maintenance, insurance, agent fees, utilities, and domestic replacements.

Do I need to pay capital gains tax when selling a property?

It depends. We'll calculate CGT, check for reliefs, and handle the 60-day return for residential sales if required.

How do I handle multiple properties in my accounts?

We set up property-level records and summaries so you can see both individual performance and your overall portfolio position.

Do I need to register for VAT or CIS?

Residential letting is usually outside VAT, but exceptions exist. CIS can apply if you're developing or carrying out construction. We'll assess your situation and register you if needed.

How do I switch accountants for my property portfolio?

We'll handle the full handover, request records from your previous accountant, and take over filings smoothly.

Pricing

Bookkeeping is typically included in one of our accountancy packages. Fees start from £300 per year for simple cases, with larger portfolios usually best managed on a monthly retainer based on property numbers, complexity, and scope. You'll always receive a fixed quote upfront, with no hidden fees or surprises.
