A 15-minute call with a Chartered Accountant/Chartered Tax Advisor about your property. Selling, gifting, separating, inheriting or restructuring: get it straight while you can still change the plan.
Most property tax is decided by what you do before completion, not after. Once you have sold, gifted or transferred, the numbers are fixed and all that is left is reporting them.
Most property tax is decided before completion. Exchange too soon and you can lose a second annual allowance, a tax-year split, or a loss you could have crystallised first.
Private Residence Relief, transfers between spouses, the no-gain no-loss window after separation. Each has conditions, and each is easy to forfeit by acting in the wrong order.
Once you have gifted, transferred or sold, the tax position is fixed. A 15-minute call beforehand is the cheapest point at which anything can still change.

The conversation is private and nothing is shared with HMRC or anyone else.

Straight to a Chartered Accountant/Chartered Tax Advisor. Simple questions are settled on the call; bigger jobs get a fixed quote before any work starts. Bring the numbers you have, rough is fine.
Book the call →Anything where UK property meets tax: planning a sale before you commit, gifting property to children, second homes and holiday lets, divorce and separation transfers, inherited property and estates, residence questions, and what your reliefs are actually worth. If it is outside our lane we say so and point you somewhere sensible.
The 15-minute call is the starting point: plenty of questions get settled right there. If your situation needs proper work, a written computation, a review, a plan, we quote a fixed fee on the call before anything starts. No hourly billing, no open-ended engagements.
Because most of the levers only work before completion. Timing a sale against the tax year, using both spouses' allowances, or realising a loss first can each change the bill. After completion the numbers are fixed and all that is left is reporting them.
A Chartered Accountant/Chartered Tax Advisor. Not a call centre, not a junior reading a script. The person on the call is the person responsible for the advice.
Quick guidance on the call is verbal. Anything you are going to rely on for a filing or a significant decision is delivered in writing as part of a quoted piece of work, so you have something to hold us to.
No. If the sale is done and the position is straightforward, go straight to our Reviewed filing service (£199): prepared, signed off and filed by a Chartered Accountant/Chartered Tax Advisor. Advice calls are for decisions you have not made yet.
Yes, second-opinion checks are common: your own CGT computation, a figure from another adviser, or an online calculator result you are not sure about. If it is right we say so; if it is not, you find out before HMRC does.
Property is the specialty. CGT questions on shares or crypto that touch the same tax year often get settled on the call as part of the picture; anything deeper than that, we say so plainly and point you to the right specialist rather than busk it.
Yes. The conversation is confidential and your details are handled under UK GDPR. Nothing is shared with HMRC or anyone else; the call is you getting your bearings, not a declaration.

Common follow-ons from a property tax conversation.
Gifting a property starts an inheritance-tax clock as well as a CGT charge. Both matter.
A fixed-fee review of a landlord portfolio: structure, reliefs and what a sale would cost.
Rental income, gains and the annual return that ties your property income together.
If you live or work abroad, your residence decides what the UK can tax in the first place.
