Have undeclared or historic rental income from residential properties? Led by an ACCA-qualified accountant, we help landlords bring undeclared rental income up to date through a complete professional disclosure under HMRC's official Let Property Campaign—seeking the appropriate available penalty reductions, reducing the risk of further HMRC compliance action, and protecting your peace of mind.
HMRC receives data directly from the Land Registry, letting agents, deposit protection schemes, and mortgage providers. When you come forward voluntarily under the Let Property Campaign, HMRC strongly favours civil settlement over criminal proceedings. The penalty depends on the circumstances, including the taxpayer’s behaviour and the quality and timing of the disclosure. Voluntary disclosures usually receive lower penalties. If HMRC discovers the undeclared income first, statutory penalties can reach up to 100% of the tax due.
Many landlords fall behind innocently due to life events, complex rules, or simply not realising that letting income must be declared even if you made a small profit or loss.
You moved in with a partner or inherited a property and rented out your former home without registering for self-assessment.
You received a letter from HMRC stating they have information regarding your property income. We can respond immediately to halt escalated enforcement.
You live or work overseas but retain residential rental property in the UK and didn't realize non-resident landlord filing was mandatory.
You have several rental properties or HMOs where bookkeeping fell behind, and you need multi-year accounts prepared and reconciled.
You rented out rooms in your home or on short-stay platforms (Airbnb) and exceeded the ÂŁ7,500 Rent-a-Room relief threshold.
You filed self-assessments but didn't correctly apply the mortgage interest tax credit rules introduced under Section 24.
We review your situation without judgment. We establish the years involved, calculate your approximate exposure, and determine whether you qualify for unprompted voluntary terms.
We reconstruct your historic rental accounts, making sure every legal deduction is claimed—repairs, maintenance, agent fees, insurance, and allowable financing costs to minimize tax owed.
We register your disclosure with HMRC's dedicated Let Property Campaign unit, write the formal cover letter explaining your circumstances, and calculate the minimum appropriate statutory penalty.
We liaise directly with HMRC case officers to agree the settlement. If you need time to pay the tax due, we negotiate an affordable Time-to-Pay monthly instalment arrangement on your behalf.
