Property and construction
Get the most out of every stage of the property lifecycle
Property taxes are some of the oldest in the UK. For over a century now, we've advised businesses on the sector’s evolving tax regulations.
From site acquisition and development to ownership and disposal, your property’s whole lifecycle is surrounded by complicated tax rules. When the stakes are high and margins are tight, a clear view of your profitability and compliance makes a huge difference.
We’re here to be your guide. As well as our specialist property and construction accountancy team, we’ll bring you experience in tax, VAT, and corporate finance – all under one roof, so you never need to explain yourself twice.
If you’re in construction, any kind of profit is an achievement lately. We’ll help you protect yours – navigating interest rate changes, supply chain delays, and skills gaps. Keeping you away from problems applying the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) and domestic reverse charge, which can be expensive if you get them wrong. Making the most of tax reliefs and giving you the clarity you need to make decisions about project turnover and size.
For property owners, the tax landscape moves all the time. Knowing your best structure and approach can be hard. Is buy-to-let still a good option? What about the uncertainties behind changes to furnished holiday lets? When you need to think about corporation tax or income tax, inheritance tax, stamp duty land tax, capital gains, and VAT, it’s easy to feel uncertain. We understand. We’ve literally written books about it.
Your tax efficiency and profitability are always important. But so are your objectives – the reasons you’re in business in the first place. When times are uncertain, we often find focusing on those priorities can make your choices clear.

Navigate CIS and DRC with confidence
The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) regulations are a complicated matter. Our CIS healthcheck will give you the confidence that you’re handling your materials, contracts, and workers the right way.
While we’re at it, the VAT rules for domestic reverse charge (DRC) aren’t straightforward either – but don’t worry; we have the experience to keep you on track.
Tailored succession and family business support
If one of your priorities is that your business or property portfolio provides for your family, or you’re looking to exit, we can help. Wraparound support from our financial planning, tax, and corporate finance colleagues means we can find options that suit your individual ethos, timeline, and goals.
Importantly, we’re one team, working together to get the right result for you. No misunderstandings, no conflicts. Just one trusted relationship with people who know you well.
Early insolvency guidance makes the difference
Business doesn’t always go smoothly. For years, construction companies have been among the UK’s most likely to suffer insolvency. Pressure on working capital, soaring costs, and inconsistent demand doesn’t help.
If you sense your business is struggling, getting good advice early can make the best of a bad situation. You’ll have more options. In many cases, our clients have avoided formal insolvency altogether.
As difficult as it might feel, the first step is to call us for a chat. Then you’ll know what you’re dealing with and can start to make positive choices.
