HMRC-registered landlord tax specialists serving Bristol property owners. Self-Assessment, Section 24 planning, MTD compliance and capital gains, from a fixed monthly fee.
Landlord Accountant in Bristol
Bristol has one of the south west's most active regional buy-to-let markets and increasingly the highest-value regional city outside London, with very strong rental demand across BS1, BS2 and BS3 from city-centre professionals working in the substantial commercial cluster (the substantial aerospace, defence and tech employment around Filton, BAE and the wider M4-corridor), the substantial student-let trade supporting the University of Bristol and UWE, the Clifton, Redland and Cotham conservation-area let market, and the substantial Wapping Wharf and Harbourside new-build BTL market. Many Bristol landlords hold portfolios across central Bristol and the wider BS postcodes and face the full complexity of the modern landlord tax landscape: Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions are particularly punishing given the now-substantial BS1, BS2 and BS3 mortgage balances, Making Tax Digital is now live for landlords with income over £50,000, and capital gains exposure on long-held Bristol properties is often substantial.

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 F owns five rental properties across central Bristol, including two Wapping Wharf new-build apartments, two Clifton converted Victorian flats and one Cotham student-let HMO. When they came to us they were declaring rental income on Self-Assessment as a sole landlord, being hit hard by Section 24 given the now-substantial Bristol mortgage balances, and dealing with the very different service-charge dynamics on new-build apartments versus older converted flats. Their effective tax rate on the portfolio was sitting around 41 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 £62,000 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 £20,800 a year. The breakeven was just over three years.
Outcome: ongoing tax saving of around £20,800 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.
