HMRC-registered landlord tax specialists serving Islington property owners. Self-Assessment, Section 24 planning, MTD compliance and capital gains, from a fixed monthly fee.
Landlord Accountant in Islington
Islington is one of north London's most active and high-value buy-to-let markets, with very strong rental demand from professionals drawn by N1's central location, King's Cross and Old Street tech-corridor employers, the Upper Street and Angel commercial offer, and substantial demand for professional-share lets across Islington's substantial Georgian and Victorian housing stock. Many Islington landlords hold premium-value properties across N1 and face the full complexity of the modern landlord tax landscape: Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions are particularly punishing given typical N1 mortgage balances, Making Tax Digital is now live for landlords with income over £50,000, and capital gains exposure on long-held N1 properties is often very substantial indeed. Islington Council's selective licensing scheme in designated wards adds further compliance considerations.

📅 Get Your Free Section 24 ReviewReal Client Story
Client P owns four rental properties across N1, including three converted flats let to professional sharers and one Georgian terrace converted into a small HMO. When they came to us they were declaring rental income on Self-Assessment as a sole landlord, being hit hard by Section 24 on the substantially-mortgaged Islington properties, juggling Islington Council selective licensing requirements on two of the properties, and dealing with HMO licensing on the converted terrace. 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 £96,000 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 £29,800 a year. The breakeven was just over three years.
Outcome: ongoing tax saving of around £29,800 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.
