HMRC-registered landlord tax specialists serving Clapham property owners. Self-Assessment, Section 24 planning, MTD compliance and capital gains, from a fixed monthly fee.
Landlord Accountant in Clapham
Clapham is one of south west London's most active and premium-value buy-to-let markets, with very strong rental demand from young professionals drawn by Clapham's exceptional transport connectivity (Northern line at Clapham Common, Clapham North and Clapham South, plus the Overground), Clapham Common and the substantial bar, restaurant and gym scene, and the steady professional-share demand across SW4's substantial Victorian and Edwardian housing stock. Many Clapham landlords hold premium-value properties across SW4 and face the full complexity of the modern landlord tax landscape: Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions are particularly punishing given typical SW4 mortgage balances, Making Tax Digital is now live for landlords with income over £50,000, and capital gains exposure on long-held SW4 properties is often very substantial indeed.

📅 Get Your Free Section 24 ReviewReal Client Story
Client X owns three high-value rental properties across SW4, all converted Victorian houses let to young-professional sharers. When they came to us they were declaring rental income on Self-Assessment as a sole landlord, being hit very hard by Section 24 given the substantial mortgage balances typical of Clapham acquisitions, and acutely aware of the latent CGT exposure on the longer-held properties. Their effective tax rate on the portfolio was sitting around 43 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 £88,000 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 £27,500 a year. The breakeven was just over three years.
Outcome: ongoing tax saving of around £27,500 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.
