Landlord services

Owning property can be a rewarding investment — but it also comes with complex tax and reporting obligations. Whether you own one rental property or a large portfolio, our specialist landlord services are designed to give you peace of mind, reduce tax exposure, and keep you fully compliant with HMRC.

At Bourne Accountancy, we understand the challenges landlords face and offer tailored solutions to help you manage your property affairs more efficiently and tax-effectively.

Our Landlord Services Include:

Rental Accounts

We prepare annual rental accounts to ensure your income is accurately reported, expenses are claimed correctly, and you have a clear view of your profits. Whether you own property personally, jointly, or through a company, we make sure your accounts are fully compliant and optimised.

Let Property Campaign Disclosures

If you’ve received rental income that hasn’t been declared to HMRC, we can guide you through the Let Property Campaign. We’ll help you disclose income properly, calculate any tax due, minimise penalties, and regularise your tax position with confidence.

Property Incorporation Advice

We offer expert advice on whether incorporating your property business could be beneficial. If appropriate, we’ll help you structure the transfer to a limited company tax-efficiently, considering Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), and mortgage implications.

SDLT Specialist Advice

Stamp Duty Land Tax can be one of the most complex areas in property transactions. We provide detailed SDLT analysis, including mixed-use claims, and incorporation reliefs, helping you reduce or avoid unnecessary tax charges.

Property Restructuring

As your portfolio grows or your personal circumstances change, we can help you restructure property ownership to reflect your goals — whether that’s succession planning, tax efficiency, or asset protection. We also work with legal professionals to implement trust arrangements, declarations of trust, or partnerships where beneficial.

Use of Trusts

Trusts can be a valuable tool for estate planning, asset protection, and reducing Inheritance Tax on property portfolios. We advise on the right trust structures and liaise with legal advisers to ensure they are implemented correctly and in line with your long-term objectives.

Capital Gains Tax – 60-Day Reporting

Selling a UK residential property? You may need to report and pay Capital Gains Tax within 60 days of completion. We prepare and file your CGT returns promptly, ensuring full compliance with HMRC deadlines and accurate tax calculations.

Our property tax specialists are here to support you at every stage — from first-time landlords to seasoned investors. Let us help you manage the details, minimise your tax exposure, and protect your investment.
