How do capital
allowances work?

Capital allowances let you claim tax relief on property, such as fixtures, fittings, services and building fabric. These elements are all part of the building, but are treated very differently for tax purposes.

There is often relief available, but it’s not always identified or fully claimed. In many cases, the issue is a lack of understanding on what type of relief is available, what qualifies, how it should be assessed, and how the claim should be structured.

We review all of your property expenditure in detail to establish what qualifies and what it’s worth, then manage the claim from start to finish. Every stage is handled with care, so the outcome stands up under scrutiny and aligns with your wider tax position.

Work with us

A partner where it matters most

Tax relief doesn’t sit in isolation. It’s tied to decisions you’re already making on transactions, projects and existing assets. The difference is whether it’s addressed properly at the right time.

O1

Buying or selling

Relief is often overlooked until after terms are agreed, when options are limited. We get involved early, so capital allowances are properly addressed before anything is fixed.

O2

Construction or refurbishment

Project spend moves quickly, but tax relief doesn’t always keep pace. We gather project information in real time and help you understand what qualifies as you go, so your value is captured, optimised, and delivered properly.

O3

Portfolio review

Across an existing portfolio, it’s common for relief to be partially claimed or never reviewed at all. We help you understand what’s already been done, what’s been overlooked, and what can still be recovered.

FAQs

What to expect, how it works, and what you need to know. If you’re unsure on anything, feel free to contact us.

How does the process work?
We start with a free initial consultation to review your property or project and identify potential relief. If there's value to pursue, we manage the full process through to completion, including valuations, analysis, reporting and support through to dealing with any HMRC enquiry.
Is my information confidential?
Absolutely. We're RICS-regulated and bound by strict professional standards. Your data and commercial details remain entirely confidential throughout our engagement.
What if I've already completed a transaction?
There is no strict time limit on claiming, so you may still recover relief from prior years through a portfolio review. We audit all historical purchases and can identify missed opportunities going back several years.
How quickly can you move?
As an independent practice, we move quickly once we have the information we need. When timelines are tight, we prioritise your deal and our process can be completed in a matter of weeks.
What happens if there's no value?
Our work starts with determining whether it’s worth doing. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly and won’t charge you. Your initial consultation is free, and we only proceed if the outcome justifies the engagement.
