Capital Gains Tax advice

Capital Gains Tax advisor for landlords selling property

Sell a UK residential property at a gain and you usually have 60 days from completion to report it and pay the Capital Gains Tax, separately from your tax return. Miss that window and HMRC's penalties follow, even if your annual return is spotless. Talk to a specialist before you sell, not after.

Why a CGT specialist first

A CGT specialist before you sell, not after the bill lands

Capital Gains Tax on property has its own rules, its own deadline, and its own way of catching landlords out. The 60-day reporting window is the one most people only learn about once the sale has already completed.

By then your options have narrowed. The timing of the sale, who owns what share, and the relief you're entitled to are mostly settled before completion, which is exactly why advice pays for itself when it comes first. A property tax Pro lives in these rules every day, so a consultation works through how your gain is calculated and what you'll owe on your own numbers, not a general rule of thumb. If you'd rather read first, the Capital Gains Tax guide walks through how it works in plain English, and you can book a call when you're ready to act.

What we cover

Capital gains tax advice for landlords, end to end

From planning a disposal to getting the 60-day return right, here's where a Capital Gains Tax specialist earns their keep.

Plan the sale in advance
Work through the timing, the ownership and the order of a disposal before you commit, so the result is by design rather than by accident.
Reliefs and ownership
Understand how the gain is calculated and the relief you're entitled to, and whether the way the property is owned is working for or against you.
Incorporation and transfer gains
Moving a property into a company or between owners can trigger a gain of its own. A specialist shows you what each route would mean first.
