Own Rental Property? You Probably Pay More Tax Than You Need To.

Being a landlord in the UK comes with a growing pile of tax obligations, and the rules have changed significantly in recent years. Mortgage interest relief has been restricted, Section 24 has hit profits hard, and HMRC is paying closer attention to property income than ever before.

The good news? With the right accountant, there's still plenty of legal room to reduce your tax bill and protect your investment.

At TLC Accountants, we work with landlords and property investors across London, Essex, and the rest of the UK, from those with a single buy-to-let to portfolios of multiple properties.

What Expenses Can Landlords Claim?

Many landlords underclaim expenses and overpay tax as a result. Allowable expenses include:

- Letting agent fees and management costs

- Mortgage interest (within current rules)

- Repairs and maintenance (not improvements)

- Buildings and contents insurance

- Ground rent and service charges

- Accountancy fees

- Advertising costs for finding tenants

- Travel costs for visiting the property

We review your full expense picture to make sure your tax bill reflects reality, not HMRC's default.

Should You Hold Property in a Limited Company?

This is one of the biggest questions for property investors right now, and the answer depends on your personal tax rate, portfolio size, and long-term plans.

Your Situation - Worth Considering Ltd?

Higher or additional rate taxpayer - Yes, Corporation Tax (19 - 25%) vs Income Tax (42–47%)

Building a portfolio long-term - Yes, more tax-efficient for reinvestment

Planning to pass property to family - Yes, IHT planning benefits

Single property, basic rate taxpayer - Probably not, extra costs may outweigh savings

We'll model both scenarios for your specific situation before you make any decisions.
