Accountancy support for landlords, property investors and Airbnb hosts.
Property taxation has become significantly more complex in recent years. Between mortgage interest restrictions, limited company structures, capital gains tax and the introduction of Making Tax Digital for landlords, managing property finances properly is more important than ever.
Whether you own rental properties personally, through a limited company or operate Airbnb accommodation, we provide specialist accounting support designed specifically for property businesses and investors.
Common Problems
Property accounting is changing fast.
The days of simply keeping a spreadsheet and submitting one tax return a year are disappearing. HMRC is moving towards digital reporting, tax rules continue to evolve and many landlords are now questioning whether their current setup is still the most efficient option.
We help property owners simplify the financial side of their portfolio while preparing for future changes with confidence.
“I’m not sure if my properties should be in a limited company.”
The right structure depends on a range of factors including tax efficiency, mortgage considerations, long-term investment plans and future portfolio growth. We help property owners understand the pros and cons of personal ownership versus limited companies so they can make informed decisions.
“I need an accountant that actually understands property.”
Property taxation comes with its own set of rules that many accountants don’t fully specialise in. From Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions and capital gains tax through to furnished holiday lets and Airbnb income, we provide support tailored specifically to landlords and property investors.
“I’m worried about Making Tax Digital for landlords.”
From April 2026, many landlords will need to move to quarterly digital reporting under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. For many property owners, this means significant changes to how records are kept and submitted to HMRC. We help landlords prepare early by implementing compliant software and systems that make the transition far less stressful.
“Managing multiple properties is becoming difficult.”
As portfolios grow, tracking rental income, mortgage payments, repairs, maintenance and other expenses can quickly become time-consuming and disorganised. We help landlords implement systems that improve visibility, simplify bookkeeping and keep records fully organised throughout the year.
