Nordens Chartered Accountants
Property Accountants London
Nordens are specialist property accountants for landlords, investors and developers across London and Essex. We advise on portfolio structure and incorporation, SDLT, capital gains tax on disposals, mortgage interest relief, developer VAT and SPV accounting, and prepare landlords for Making Tax Digital for income tax.
Who we work with
The businesses we support every week.
Private and portfolio landlords
From a first buy to let to portfolios of thirty or more, held personally or through companies.
Property investors
Buyers of commercial, mixed use and HMO stock weighing structure, finance and long term tax.
Developers
Build to sell and build to rent schemes, often through SPVs with external finance.
Serviced accommodation operators
Short-let businesses with their own VAT, capital allowance and trade versus investment questions.
What usually goes wrong
The problems we are brought in to fix.
The wrong ownership structure
Personal versus company ownership changes your tax bill for decades. Fixing it later can trigger SDLT and capital gains charges.
Mortgage interest restriction
Higher-rate landlords holding personally lost full interest relief. Many portfolios have never been reviewed since.
SDLT surcharges and reliefs
Additional dwellings, multiple dwellings and mixed use rules change the figure materially, in both directions.
Capital gains tax on disposals
Reporting deadlines on UK residential disposals are tight, and reliefs are easily missed without planning before exchange.
Making Tax Digital for landlords
Quarterly digital reporting is coming for property income. Paper records and spreadsheets will not be enough.
Inheritance tax on a growing portfolio
Property wealth builds a large estate. Without planning, the next generation carries the bill.
What is included
The work we do for you.
Portfolio structuring and incorporation
Modelling personal versus corporate ownership including SDLT and CGT on any transfer.
Property tax planning
SDLT, capital gains, income tax and inheritance tax planned together rather than in isolation.
Landlord accounts and tax returns
Rental accounts, self assessment and company filings prepared accurately and on time.
Making Tax Digital readiness
Cloud bookkeeping set up for quarterly reporting well before the deadline bites.
Developer and SPV accounting
Scheme accounting, VAT on new build and conversions, and investor reporting.
Wealth and succession planning
Passing property wealth on efficiently, coordinated with our wealth management team.
Your team
Named senior people, not a call centre.
You work with the same senior contacts throughout, supported by a specialist team, with a director signing off the advice you act on. We are a privately owned firm, so the people you meet are the people accountable for the work.
