Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does a property accountant in London do?

Property accountants specialise in real estate financial services, helping landlords, investors, and developers with rental income bookkeeping, tax planning (e.g., CGT, SDLT, IHT), VAT, annual accounts, investment structuring, and HMRC compliance—far beyond the scope of a general accountant.

2. Why choose a specialist property accountant over a general one?

Unlike general accountants, property accountants bring deep knowledge of landlord-specific tax laws, such as mortgage interest relief, capital allowances, SDLT, and digital compliance (MTD). This expert insight often yields greater tax savings and minimises regulatory risks.

3. What landlord expenses can I claim to reduce tax in London?

You can claim allowable expenses such as letting agent fees, repairs (not improvements), insurance, legal fees, and the “replacement of domestic items” relief (e.g., furniture). Property accountants ensure these are accurately captured to lower your tax liability.

4. How do property accountants assist with buying and selling property?

They offer strategic advice on Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), Capital Gains Tax (CGT), and Inheritance Tax (IHT)—both in structuring purchases/sales and maximising reliefs like Private Residence Relief or Lettings Relief.

5. Can property accountants support developers and multi-property portfolios?

Absolutely. They help developers and large-scale investors with project accounting, cash flow modelling, portfolio structuring (e.g., SPVs), and strategic financial planning to optimise returns as assets grow.
