Landlord Accounting

Rental income brings its own reporting requirements, from allowable expenses to mortgage interest relief and, for larger portfolios, potential incorporation questions. A professional experienced with landlords can help you stay compliant and organised.

The rules for landlords have shifted substantially in recent years, particularly around how mortgage interest relief is treated for tax purposes. What was allowable a few years ago isn't necessarily allowable now, which is part of why landlords who've been managing this themselves for a while sometimes benefit from a fresh review of their position.
