Accounting support for landlords, developers and investors
Property comes with its own tax and accounting rules. SPVs, Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, VAT on commercial property, limited company versus personal holdings. Getting it right matters, because the wrong structure early on can be expensive to unpick later.
We work with landlords, developers, investors and agents across the UK, providing the accounting, tax and compliance support that property businesses actually need. Clear advice on structure, reliefs and reporting, without unnecessary complexity.
What we help property businesses with
Property businesses vary widely. A single buy-to-let and a multi-site developer share almost nothing operationally. The areas below cover the support we most commonly provide across the sector.
Structure and SPVs
Advice on whether to hold property personally, through a limited company, or via SPVs, and support setting up the right structure from the start.
Bookkeeping, VAT and annual accounts
Ongoing bookkeeping, VAT returns (including the option to tax on commercial property), annual accounts and corporation or personal tax filings.
Rental income, allowable expenses and mortgage interest
Accurate treatment of rental income, allowable expenses, and mortgage interest relief under current rules for landlords.
CGT, SDLT and disposals
Support calculating Capital Gains Tax on disposals, understanding Stamp Duty Land Tax implications, and reporting within required deadlines.
Developer and project accounting
Project-level accounting for developers, tracking costs, drawdowns and profit by scheme rather than in aggregate.
Payroll, group reporting and FD support
Payroll for agents and in-house teams, consolidated reporting across property groups, and interim FD support for larger portfolios.
These are examples of the areas we commonly support property businesses with. The level of support will vary depending on your stage and requirements.
Who we work with
We work with a wide range of property businesses, from private landlords with single or multiple properties through to established investors and groups managing larger portfolios.
This includes property investors holding assets through SPVs, limited companies or group structures, as well as developers running single or multi-scheme projects across residential and commercial sectors.
We also support estate agents, letting agents and property management firms, along with overseas investors with UK property interests who need clear and compliant financial oversight.
The focus is on providing practical accounting support that reflects how property businesses actually operate, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why property businesses choose Braant
Property clients choose Braant because property-specific rules such as SDLT, CGT, VAT options and Section 24 need an accountant who deals with them regularly, not one who sees them occasionally.
