Expert Accountants for Property Investors & Developers

Property businesses face complex tax rules, cash flow challenges, and evolving regulations. Whether you’re a landlord, property investor, developer, estate agent, or management company, structured financial planning is essential. At Co-gency Chartered Accountants, we help property businesses across Manchester, Salford, and Swinton protect profits, minimise tax, and stay fully compliant.

Do Property Businesses Need Specialist Accountants?

Absolutely. Property accounting is very different from standard trading businesses:

  • Capital Gains & SDLT: Planning disposals and acquisitions tax-efficiently.
  • Rental Income & Allowable Expenses: Correct treatment of repairs vs capital improvements.
  • Section 24 & Mortgage Interest: Understanding finance cost restrictions.

Without proper planning, landlords and developers can overpay tax or structure deals inefficiently.
