A high-street accountant in South East London typically bills by the hour, meets by appointment and prices each extra question.

There's no office to fund in Downe and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

Downe landlord & property tax FAQs
How does mortgage interest relief work now?
Under Section 24 you can't deduct mortgage interest from rental profits — instead you get a 20% tax credit. Higher-rate landlords pay noticeably more than under the old rules, which is why the sums (and the company question) deserve proper attention.
Should I hold my properties in a limited company?
Sometimes. Companies deduct interest in full and pay corporation tax rates, but you face costs extracting profits and potentially CGT/SDLT moving existing properties in. We'll run your actual numbers — the honest answer is 'it depends', and we'll show you on what.
What expenses can landlords claim?
Repairs and maintenance (not improvements), agent fees, insurance, ground rent, utilities you pay, advertising, accountancy, and travel for property management. The repairs-versus-improvements line is where most mistakes happen — we police it carefully.
Do I need to visit an office in Downe?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Downe or anywhere else in South East London.
I searched "landlord tax near me" — is this service really local to Downe?
Downe is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Downe town centre or the edge of South East London. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my landlord tax?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax, briefly — the parts that affect Downe
The first tax bill is the hardest because it can arrive with payments on account attached — up to 150% of the year's tax in one go. New businesses that save a quarter to a third of profits from day one never feel it.
The businesses that find January easy are the ones whose bookkeeping happened all year — automatically. Modern software matches bank transactions, files receipts photographed on a phone, and leaves nothing to reconstruct from memory in the new year.
If your last Self Assessment bill was over £1,000, HMRC usually asks for next year's tax in advance — half on 31 January, half on 31 July. It's the number-one cause of "why is my bill double?" calls, and it's manageable: if your income has dropped, the payments can be reduced with a claim.
Limited companies in CIS reclaim differently to sole traders — through payroll or the company tax return rather than Self Assessment. Plenty of construction companies sit on refundable deductions without realising; a quick review of the CIS position often pays for itself immediately.
Inside-IR35 and outside-IR35 engagements need different setups — sometimes umbrella, sometimes the company, sometimes both across a year. Contractors who plan this per-engagement keep more and worry less.
Selling online, freelancing on the side, renting out equipment — each can be a "trade" in HMRC's eyes once it's done with a profit motive. The good news: registering is straightforward, expenses become claimable, and done early it's a non-event.
Auto-enrolment applies from the first eligible employee: assess, enrol, contribute, declare. The Pensions Regulator does check, and the fines for ignoring it are out of proportion to how simple compliance actually is.
The tax-free dividend allowance is down to £500, so almost any director taking dividends now pays some dividend tax — and needs a Self Assessment return to report it. The classic small-salary-plus-dividends strategy still works; it just needs actual planning rather than folklore.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Downe, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
