HMRC-registered landlord tax specialists serving Barnet property owners. Self-Assessment, Section 24 planning, MTD compliance and capital gains, from a fixed monthly fee.
Landlord Accountant in Barnet
Barnet is one of north London's most active and diverse buy-to-let markets, with strong rental demand across EN4 (East Barnet, New Barnet, Cockfosters) and EN5 (Barnet town centre, High Barnet) from professionals commuting via the Northern line into central London, family households drawn by the area's grammar schools and outstanding state primaries, and steady demand from the substantial Whetstone, Totteridge and wider catchment. Many Barnet landlords have built portfolios over decades of strong North London growth and now face the full complexity of the modern landlord tax landscape: Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions have significantly increased tax bills for higher rate taxpayers, Making Tax Digital is now live for landlords with income over £50,000, and capital gains exposure on long-held EN4 and EN5 properties is substantial. The Barnet Council borough wide selective licensing scheme in certain wards adds further compliance considerations.
Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, handles all aspects of landlord tax for Barnet property owners across EN4 and EN5. Self-Assessment, Section 24 planning, MTD compliance, capital gains tax and incorporation advice, all at a fixed monthly fee with same-day filing available when it matters.

📅 Get Your Free Section 24 ReviewReal Client Story
Client H owns seven rental properties around Barnet and the wider EN4 and EN5 area, including a mix of family-let three- and four-bedroom houses, two HMOs and a converted flat let to professional sharers. When they came to us they were declaring rental income on Self-Assessment as a sole landlord, being hit hard by Section 24, juggling Barnet Council selective licensing on two of the properties, and dealing with the additional compliance and reporting burden of HMO licensing on the other two. Their effective tax rate on the portfolio was sitting around 42 per cent of net rental income once the disallowed mortgage interest was factored in, and they had never had a proper conversation about whether their structure suited their portfolio size.
We modelled the position of incorporating the portfolio into a Property Investment Company against keeping it personal. The incorporation had transfer costs (Capital Gains Tax on the latent gains and Stamp Duty Land Tax including the Additional Dwelling Supplement) of around £83,000 upfront. Against that, the ongoing tax saving from full mortgage interest deductibility inside the company plus Corporation Tax rates substantially lower than their higher-rate income tax was around £25,400 a year. The breakeven was just over three years.
Outcome: ongoing tax saving of around £25,400 a year going forward, a Section 24 problem that no longer exists inside the corporate structure, a substantially improved Inheritance Tax position compared with holding the portfolio personally, and a structure now ready to absorb future portfolio growth without the headwind of the mortgage interest restriction.
