Business Structure Review
We analyse your property portfolio to recommend optimal business structures that balance tax efficiency with operational flexibility. Our specialists consider corporation tax, capital gains, and inheritance tax implications while maintaining compliance with HMRC regulations. Clients benefit from strategic advice on transitioning between sole trader, partnership, and limited company structures.
Capital Allowances
Our team identifies qualifying plant and machinery assets in property acquisitions to maximise capital allowances claims. We conduct detailed surveys of commercial and residential investments to uncover hidden tax savings. Clients receive comprehensive documentation to support claims during tax inspections while maintaining audit trails.
Inheritance Tax Planning
We develop bespoke strategies to protect property portfolios against inheritance tax liabilities. Services include trust structuring, lifetime gifting strategies, and business property relief optimisation. Our approach ensures seamless wealth transfer while maintaining control over assets during the client's lifetime.
VAT Compliance
Specialist VAT advisory services for property developers and landlords. We implement efficient systems for VAT recovery on construction costs, manage partial exemption calculations, and ensure compliance with property-specific VAT legislation including option to tax elections.
Portfolio Restructuring
We evaluate existing property holdings to identify restructuring opportunities that enhance tax efficiency. Our services include portfolio segmentation, intercompany transfers, and debt restructuring advice. Clients receive detailed cashflow projections demonstrating tax savings from proposed reorganisations.

Questions
How can property investors reduce capital gains tax?
We utilise private residence relief, lettings relief, and strategic asset transfers to minimise capital gains tax liabilities while maintaining portfolio growth.
What tax records should property investors keep?
Maintain detailed purchase/sale documents, improvement records, financing statements, and rental income/expenses to support tax claims and compliance.
Can mortgage interest still be claimed against rental income?
Yes, but with restricted relief under Section 24. We implement alternative strategies to offset this limitation through corporate structures.
How do capital allowances work for property purchases?
We identify qualifying fixtures in commercial/residential properties to claim 100% first-year allowances, reducing taxable profits significantly.
What business structure is best for property investment?
Depends on your portfolio size and goals. We typically recommend limited companies for tax efficiency, with strategic use of partnerships for asset protection.
