Most landlords and property investors are either overpaying tax or structuring things inefficiently. Usually without realising it. The tax rules around property have changed more in the last five years than in the previous twenty, and those changes have increased costs at every stage: buying, holding, and selling.
At Edge Accountants, property tax is all we do. We’re a specialist property tax accountant practice based in Coventry, advising landlords, investors, and developers across the UK. We understand how SDLT, income tax, corporation tax, CGT, VAT, and IHT interact with each other — and that’s where most of the planning opportunities sit. It’s also where most of the expensive mistakes happen.
We’re not a general practice that happens to have a few landlord clients. Property is our specialism. We see the same issues repeatedly, we know where HMRC focuses its attention, and we understand what works in practice. That means we spot things that a general accountant won’t, and we challenge things that don’t add up.
If you’re buying, restructuring, or planning an exit, the tax decisions at each stage directly affect what you keep. We make sure those decisions are informed, compliant, and tax-efficient.
Reliefs, surcharges, corporate purchases, linked transactions, and overpayment claims. We deal with SDLT daily and the same mistakes come up repeatedly.
Disposal planning, spouse transfers, PPR relief, 60-day reporting, and structuring sales to minimise your bill. We see landlords every week who sold before getting advice. Don’t be one of them.
Option to tax, development VAT, serviced accommodation, zero-rating on conversions, and TOGC provisions. The rules are complex and the consequences of getting them wrong are expensive.
Estate planning for property portfolios, Residence Nil Rate Band, lifetime gifting, and the upcoming pension changes from April 2027. The earlier you plan, the more options you have.
Self-assessment for individual landlords, Section 24 mortgage interest restriction, company structures, and ongoing compliance. We make sure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to.
Mandatory from April 2026 for income over £50,000. We’ll get you set up on the right software and handle the quarterly submissions.
