Property accountants

Due to their complex nature, property transactions and the variety of ways in which property can be exploited needs very careful planning to maximise the return on investment.

We have built our expertise as property accountants working for clients across the property spectrum. In the residential, commercial and retail sectors, we act for developers, investment companies, construction companies and related service providers such as estate agents, surveyors and architects.

As well as providing an audit and accounting service, we provide our clients with advice in many other areas. These include the incorporation of new companies and the statutory affairs that flow from that, structuring of joint ventures and deals, property financing, reviewing capital allowances and ensuring that VAT matters are properly handled.

And it doesn’t stop there. Our clients often look to us for help in the IT area where we will advise upon the selection and implementation of appropriate software tailored to reporting requirements, and for general financial input which may include producing or reviewing management accounts.

As a summary, alongside of audit and accountancy, we can help property clients in a number of areas including:

Compliance

We help our clients to plan their tax affairs carefully. Whether relating to joint ventures, personal or partnership tax, we work to ensure that commercial arrangements are properly tied down.

VAT

A complex area for the unwary, VAT can affect all areas of the property business and it is crucial to seek the right advice from the start.

Capital allowances

We advise our clients upon what qualifies as a capital allowance and what does not. This can be a minefield and it is critical to consider each case very carefully.

Financing

We can assist our clients in sourcing finance, whether for land or development, and then advise upon appropriate structuring.

Statutory affairs

Incorporation.

Financial management
