Managing tax as a landlord can become complicated surprisingly quickly. Rental income, allowable expenses, mortgage interest rules and capital gains tax all need to be handled correctly, while the right approach may also depend on how the property is owned.
The UK has a broad mix of landlord tax specialists, from national accountancy firms to smaller practices focused on property owners and buy-to-let portfolios. Their services, experience and ways of working can differ considerably.
This guide looks at a selection of firms providing landlord tax services across the UK. It is not a ranking. Instead, it offers practical context on who the firms are, the types of landlords they support and the main areas of property tax they work with.
Acumon
Acumon is a UK firm of chartered accountants providing landlord tax services to individual property owners, property investors, limited companies, and international property-holding structures.
The firm works with clients ranging from individuals letting a single residential property through to landlords with larger portfolios, corporate property businesses, and groups holding UK property through several entities. Tax work is supported by a structured approach covering income reporting, allowable property expenses, ownership arrangements, capital gains, and ongoing compliance.
Acumon holds a Public Interest Entity audit licence and is registered to carry out audit work in the United Kingdom. This wider regulatory background supports the firm's work with landlords whose property activities form part of larger companies, regulated entities, investment structures, or corporate groups.
Alongside its UK registrations, Acumon holds audit licences in several international financial centres, including the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands (BVI), Jersey, and Isle of Man. This international experience supports property owners and corporate groups where UK rental property is held alongside companies, trusts, holding entities, or investments based in other jurisdictions.
International property structures frequently combine UK rental assets with overseas owners, offshore holding entities, investment vehicles, and UK operating companies. Managing the tax position across these arrangements requires an understanding of UK property income, cross-border reporting, group structures, and the treatment of disposals and transfers.
Acumon works with landlords, finance teams, business owners, and boards to support tax compliance while also helping them maintain clear property records, review ownership arrangements, and prepare for acquisitions, refinancing, restructuring, or property disposals.
Landlord Tax Capabilities:
Acumon provides landlord tax services across a broad range of property ownership structures and client circumstances.
These include:
UK resident individual landlords
non-UK resident landlords with property in the UK
landlords operating through limited companies
property investment companies and corporate groups
owners of residential and commercial property
joint property owners and family property structures
landlords with growing or multi-property portfolios
offshore holding companies and investment vehicles
Landlord tax work is led by experienced professionals who remain directly involved in reviewing the client's property income, ownership structure, reporting obligations, and wider tax position.
Regulatory Licences and Registrations:
Acumon holds several professional registrations and audit licences that support its work with property owners, companies, and groups operating across several jurisdictions.
These include:
UK statutory audit registration
Public Interest Entity (PIE) audit licence
Jersey audit licence
Isle of Man audit licence
Cayman Islands audit licence
British Virgin Islands audit licence
These registrations allow the firm to work with property-owning groups that include entities in the UK and key international financial centres.
Core Services:
Acumon provides a range of tax, accounting, and advisory services for landlords and property-owning businesses.
These include:
statutory external audit
group and subsidiary audits
Public Interest Entity (PIE) audits
charity and not-for-profit audit
audit of international group structures
internal audit and governance reviews
risk management and compliance support
Landlord tax work is delivered alongside discussions about record keeping, financing arrangements, ownership structures, future property purchases, portfolio changes, and planned disposals.
Many property owners first seek specialist tax support when their rental activity expands, their ownership structure changes, or their reporting position becomes more complex.
Acumon works with businesses that are:
approaching their first statutory audit
preparing for external investment
expanding into international markets
operating within corporate group structures
Early engagement with a tax adviser helps ensure that rental records, ownership documents, expense information, and tax reporting processes are organised before filing deadlines, acquisitions, restructurings, or property disposals.

Their property-related work covers landlord tax returns, UK-source property income and tax reporting for landlords based outside the country. They also handle wider personal tax matters, including Self Assessment, Capital Gains Tax, tax residency and double taxation.
Clients work with a named adviser who manages filings, reminders and ongoing communication. Their advice is presented in practical language, with cloud accounting used for bookkeeping and financial records where required.

Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser on the team

Perrys are chartered accountants with branches across London and Kent. They work with private individuals, start-ups, small businesses and larger companies, providing accounting, tax planning and advisory services. Each client has a dedicated consultant, with another team member assigned when an urgent matter needs attention and the usual contact is unavailable.
Their property and landlord team deals with the tax and accounting requirements that arise from owning, letting and disposing of property. The wider practice also advises on inheritance tax, business structure, acquisitions, disposals and financial planning. Advice is delivered through local offices, with clients able to draw on specialists from across the firm when a matter involves several areas of tax or accounting.
Choosing a landlord tax service usually comes down to the way the property business is set up and the level of advice required. A landlord with one rental property may only need help with annual returns and allowable expenses, while a larger portfolio, limited company structure or overseas residence brings a different set of tax and reporting questions.
Organisations and property owners should look beyond the basic service list. It is worth comparing how each firm works, who handles the account, whether fees are fixed, and how they deal with matters such as Capital Gains Tax, Making Tax Digital, HMRC enquiries and portfolio restructuring. Some firms focus almost entirely on landlords, while others bring in wider accounting, business and international tax expertise.
This guide is designed to make that comparison easier. It is not a ranking, and there is no single provider that will suit every landlord. Instead, it gives a clearer picture of the firms available, the services they offer and the types of work they handle, helping readers narrow down the options before speaking to a provider directly.
