Our aim is to protect your assets and support long-term family planning.

Capital Gains Tax on Property Sales

When selling property other than your main home, you may face capital gains tax. We help you calculate gains accurately, apply Private Residence Relief where eligible, and decide the best timing for a sale. We support you through reporting to HMRC and ensure your returns are completed correctly.

Company vs Personal Ownership

With changing tax rules, many property owners consider holding property in a limited company. We compare the tax implications of personal versus company ownership, including income tax versus corporation tax, salary and dividend strategies, and compliance requirements. Our advice helps you choose the best structure for your circumstances.

There’s no one size fits all answer. Limited companies can offer tax advantages for some landlords, particularly higher-rate taxpayers, but they also come with extra admin and potential tax on taking profits out. A tailored comparison of both structures is the best way to decide.
