Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is this year?
Most landlords are running their property finances alongside everything else — which means records are patchy, expenses get missed, and Self Assessment becomes a January scramble. Section 24 changes have made rental income tax more complex than it used to be. The result is usually a bill that is bigger than expected and arrives with very little warning.
- Rental income and allowable expenses not tracked consistently across properties
- Self Assessment left until January, then rushed through under deadline pressure
- No clear picture of your overall tax liability until it is too late to plan around it
What properly sorted looks like
Your property income is reconciled regularly. Allowable expenses are captured as they arise. Your tax position is visible throughout the year. There is no January scramble — just a number you already knew was coming.
- Income and expenses tracked property by property, nothing left to memory
- Self Assessment prepared and filed well before the 31 January deadline
- Tax liability calculated and communicated with enough time to plan around it
- One fixed monthly fee — no hourly billing or surprise invoices at year end

Everything a landlord’s finances need
From straightforward buy-to-let Self Assessments to multi-property portfolio accounting and HMO structures, the scope covers what landlords actually deal with.
Self Assessment and Property Tax
Your rental income, mortgage interest, allowable expenses and capital gains are reported accurately and on time. You will know your tax liability months before the deadline — not when HMRC sends the reminder. Section 24 restrictions, wear and tear, and finance costs are handled correctly.
Included as standardPortfolio and HMO Accounting
Whether you hold two properties or twenty, your portfolio is tracked property by property so the numbers make sense at a glance. HMO income, room-by-room expenses, and shared utility costs are all accounted for properly. Management accounts are available if you want a clearer ongoing picture of how your portfolio is performing.
For growing portfoliosYear-Round Tax Planning
Rather than reviewing your position once a year, we monitor it throughout so opportunities to reduce your liability are not missed. That might mean timing a disposal, making pension contributions, or reviewing how your properties are held. The goal is to keep more of what you earn — without any unpleasant surprises.
Proactive supportHeard consistently, across different clients
Sole traders, limited companies, landlords, and new business owners — the feedback covers the same themes: fast responses, accurate work, and advice that actually helps.
Swift, Hassle-Free Accounts Takeover
“Excellent service! Hasan took over and sorted out my accounts with a swift and hassle free service. I would highly recommend for your accounting needs.”
WhatsApp Queries Answered Efficiently
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Patient, Knowledgeable, Genuinely Trustworthy
“He always responds to messages and calls so quickly, has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is absolutely trustworthy. He’s kind, response, easy to deal with, and really a great member to make up your team.”
What makes the difference for landlords
There is no shortage of accountants who will file your Self Assessment. The question is whether they do it proactively or just process what you send them.
Property Tax Handled Correctly
Landlord tax is not the same as general business tax. Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions, furnished holiday let rules, and capital gains on residential property all have their own treatment. You will not need to explain how your rental income is structured before getting a useful answer.
Your Tax Bill Visible Year-Round
Your tax position is reviewed throughout the year, not assembled in a rush in January. That means you know what is coming with enough notice to plan around it — and unexpected bills are largely avoidable when the numbers are current.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
Property investors regularly have mid-year questions — about a potential disposal, a new purchase, or a change to how a property is let. Those questions get a same-day reply, in plain English, without a charge for every email. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and we handle the transition from any previous accountant.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form. We reply the same day. The initial conversation is free and without pressure — no obligation to proceed.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your properties, how your income is currently recorded, and what you need from an accountant. You leave the call knowing exactly what is included, what it costs, and what happens next.
We handle the transition
If you are moving from another accountant, we contact them directly to collect your records and history. If your books are behind, we will assess what catch-up work is needed and quote for it separately — no surprises.
Your finances in order
Your rental income is tracked, your expenses are captured, and your tax position is monitored throughout the year. January is just another month — not a deadline you are scrambling toward.
“Hasan has been amazing and extremely helpful he has been very patient with me being new to running a business, he had given me some great advice and I will continue to use Edward Harris & Hasan”
Things landlords usually ask us
Do you understand Section 24, HMOs, and furnished holiday lets — or will I need to explain my situation from scratch?
No explanation needed. We work with buy-to-let landlords, HMO operators, and holiday let owners regularly. Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions, the furnished holiday let qualifying conditions, and the capital gains rules on residential property are all part of what we handle as a matter of course. You will get a useful answer without needing to bring us up to speed first.
What does it cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed monthly and set out clearly before you commit to anything. A straightforward Self Assessment for a single buy-to-let landlord sits at a different level to a multi-property portfolio with an HMO or two — so the fee depends on your situation. We will give you a specific figure in the initial conversation. There are no hourly charges and no invoice at year end that you were not expecting.
My records are a mess and I have not filed properly for a year or two. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is more common than you might think. We will review what exists, identify what is missing, and quote separately for any catch-up work before starting. Catch-up is a fixed cost, not an open-ended billable exercise. Once things are current, the monthly fee takes over and keeps them that way.
Is there a long-term contract I have to sign?
No long-term contract. If it is not working after the first few months, you leave with your records in order and nothing owed beyond work already completed. We would rather earn your continued business month to month than lock you in against your preference.
Do I need to use specific accounting software, or can I keep using a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet is fine to start with — we can work with what you have. For landlords with more than a couple of properties, cloud bookkeeping software tends to make things considerably easier to maintain and review. We are certified in Xero, QuickBooks Online, and FreeAgent, and we will recommend the right tool for your volume without pushing you toward anything that is more than you need.
Can you help me plan around a potential property sale or portfolio restructure?
Yes. Capital gains tax on residential property, the 60-day CGT reporting requirement, and questions around transferring properties into a limited company are all things we can work through with you. It is worth having the conversation before you proceed rather than after, since the timing and structure of a transaction can affect what you owe. That kind of planning conversation is part of what the ongoing relationship covers.
Less guessing what you owe. More certainty.
Fixed monthly fee, ACCA-qualified landlord accountant, same-day replies. Initial conversation is free and without pressure — you will leave it knowing exactly what is included and what it costs.
