Providing you with advice beyond compliance
Proudly independent · Personal advice · Personal service
Chartered accountants who specialise in property tax — for landlords, developers and investors across Kent and the UK.
Between section 24, 60-day CGT, the 5% SDLT surcharge, MTD, EPC rule changes and the constant question of whether to incorporate, property tax has become genuinely complicated. Generalist accountants often miss the planning opportunities. We don't.
Professional Trust Group has a dedicated property tax team. We act for hundreds of landlords and investors across Kent and the rest of the UK, from single buy-to-let owners through to multi-million-pound portfolios and developers. And because anyone can call themselves a property tax specialist, our guide to chartered vs certified accountants explains what chartered status guarantees and how to check any firm's credentials.
We work with landlords across Medway — Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham — as well as Maidstone, Sittingbourne and the rest of Kent. Local knowledge matters when it comes to expected yields, rental comparables and the practicalities of the market. It's also a big part of why an independent local accountant still beats the big groups when it comes to property advice.
Our hand-picked property tax guides, in reading order — Section 24, company vs personal ownership, allowable expenses, capital gains and VAT on conversions.

Section 24 changed buy-to-let economics overnight. If you're a higher-rate landlord, here's exactly how it hits your tax bill and what you can do.
Should new buy-to-lets go into a limited company or your own name? The honest answer is 'it depends', so here's how to work out which side of the line you fall on.
Most landlords under-claim. From mileage and agent fees to insurance, training and the repairs-vs-capital rules, here's a checklist of every allowable expense — plus the answer on lease extension costs.
Selling a second home in 2026/27? With a smaller annual exempt amount, the 60-day CGT window and the new rates, getting this right matters more than it used to.
Converting offices or shops into homes? In the wrong structure, the VAT on the works is a straight cost. In the right one, you recover it in full — and the transfer to your letting company escapes SDLT too.
