Rental income and expense records, mortgage interest tracking, VAT for commercial property where applicable, and accounts preparation for individual landlords, partnerships, and property limited companies. AAT Licensed Practice - Tier 3 and Tier 4.
Landlord and property business records do not look like an SME ledger. Rent rolls, deposit reconciliations, mortgage interest tracking, repairs vs improvements, service charges (where you collect them on behalf of leaseholders), and the line between revenue and capital expenditure all sit inside the bookkeeping - not at year-end. Get the bookkeeping wrong and the tax return that follows is wrong with it.
S.K.E. Accountancy works with landlords and property businesses on the bookkeeping, VAT (where commercial property is held), and accounts preparation that gives your tax adviser a clean, defensible starting point. For individual landlords, sole-trader or partnership accounts. For property limited companies (SPVs), statutory accounts and the bookkeeping behind them.
Working as an AAT Licensed Practice means we stay strictly inside the services we are licensed to provide. We do not prepare landlord self-assessment returns, Capital Gains Tax computations, ATED returns, or Inheritance Tax planning - those are tax services and we will refer you to an appropriately licensed firm.
Rent rolls, expense receipts, mortgage interest, repairs, and replacement-of-domestic-items costs captured and coded each month - not reconstructed from bank statements at year-end.
Repairs vs improvements separated at point of posting so the records support either treatment when your tax adviser computes the return. Refurbishment projects coded so the capital element is identifiable.
Statutory accounts for property holding companies prepared at year-end and filed with Companies House. The bookkeeping behind them produces the figures your tax adviser uses to compute corporation tax.
Bookkeeping structured property by property so income, expenses, and net position are visible per asset - not just at portfolio level. Makes pricing decisions, disposal decisions, and tax-adviser handover faster.
Where you hold commercial property, VAT registration, option-to-tax records, and quarterly VAT returns. Residential property is generally outside the scope of VAT, but mixed-use portfolios need careful treatment.
Year-end records produced as a clean handover pack for your tax adviser - reconciled rent roll, expense schedule by property, mortgage interest summary, and the year-end accounts where applicable.
One AAT Licensed Practice covers the bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, and accounts preparation that a property and landlords business needs day to day - without straying outside our licence.
Whether you are an individual landlord with one or two properties, a partnership holding a portfolio, or a property limited company (SPV), the bookkeeping and accounts-preparation work follows the same shape - clean records, separated by property, ready for your tax adviser at year-end.
Not currently. Self-assessment is a Tier 2 service under AAT and is not covered by our current licence. We prepare the bookkeeping and rental records that your tax adviser needs to compute the return, and we will refer you to an appropriately licensed firm for the return itself.
No. CGT is a Tier 2 service and we will refer you to an appropriately licensed firm. What we do is maintain records of acquisition costs, capital improvements, and disposal proceeds so the CGT computation has clean data to work from.
Yes - that is Tier 3 work under our AAT licence. We prepare the statutory accounts and file them with Companies House. We do not prepare the CT600 itself.
No. Service charge accounts for residential properties are a regulated activity that AAT does not cover - only ICAEW / ACCA / ICAS / Chartered Accountants Ireland / AAPA members can provide that service. We will refer you to an appropriately qualified firm.
Yes. We obtain professional clearance, take over the rental records and ledger, and pick up bookkeeping, VAT (where applicable), and management accounts from the next period.
