Beyond the income tax due on rental profits, owning investment property raises other tax questions, including capital gains tax on eventual sale, stamp duty land tax on purchase, and potential inheritance tax implications if property forms part of an estate. Furnished holiday lets and commercial property can also carry different treatment from standard residential lets.

Because property is often a significant and illiquid asset, the tax consequences of buying, holding or selling it deserve careful planning well in advance rather than an afterthought once a transaction is underway. We work with property investors to think through the full tax picture, from acquisition strategy through to eventual disposal or transfer.
