Processed as it happens
Agent statements posted monthly, repairs coded and classified between revenue and capital at the time, and mortgage interest tracked. Decisions about whether a job is a repair are much better made in the month than two years later.
Preparing for Making Tax Digital
Landlords above the income thresholds will move to quarterly digital updates in phases. Maintained digital records make that a change of submission rather than a change of habit.
Planning through the year
Knowing the profit in month eight means the tax bill is not a January surprise, and there is time to act on it, whether that is timing a repair, a pension contribution or a disposal.

Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

Frequently asked
Outsourced accounts for landlords: questions directors ask
Do you deal with my letting agent?
Yes, we can collect statements directly with your authority.
Is the tax return included?
Yes, for the property owners in the engagement.
How many properties suits this?
From about four upward it usually pays for itself in time and deductions.
Should property income for outsourced accounts for landlords be held personally or in a company?
The answer depends on financing, existing gains, income tax rates, extraction plans and long-term ownership. Moving an existing property can trigger tax and legal costs, so compare the full life-cycle position before changing ownership.
Which property costs are revenue expenses and which are capital for outsourced accounts for landlords?
Repairs that restore an asset are commonly revenue costs, while improvements and acquisition costs are usually capital. The distinction affects current tax relief and the gain on a later sale, so invoices should describe the work clearly.
What records are needed for outsourced accounts for landlords?
Keep bank statements, sales and platform reports, purchase invoices, payroll records, VAT workings, finance agreements and Companies House correspondence. We confirm the exact list at onboarding and identify gaps before a filing deadline becomes urgent.
How much does help with outsourced accounts for landlords cost?
The fee depends on transaction volume, record quality, VAT and payroll requirements, historic catch-up and the level of reporting needed. We agree a fixed scope and price before technical work starts, with published packages available on our fees page.
Can you take over outsourced accounts for landlords from another accountant?
Yes. We request professional clearance, collect the prior records and authorities, check the next Companies House and HMRC deadlines, and give you one clear handover list. The process is normally completed remotely.
Can outsourced accounts for landlords be handled online?
Yes. We work through secure cloud records, scheduled reviews and digital approvals, while keeping a named team available by phone, video call and email. Clients can also visit our Morden office by appointment.
Which accounting software works best for outsourced accounts for landlords?
We regularly work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage and connected sales or expense apps. The right setup depends on transaction volume, integrations and the reports you need, not simply the software brand.

What Our Clients Say
“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.”
