Brighton's property market is one of the most active in the South East, and we work with many local landlords and property investors. Property tax is complex — Section 24, capital gains, stamp duty, and SDLT all require careful planning.
We understand the Brighton property market and the specific tax considerations for local landlords. Get specialist advice tailored to your portfolio.
Book a ConsultationSection 24 restricts mortgage interest relief for residential landlords to the basic rate of income tax (20%). Higher and additional rate taxpayers can no longer deduct their full mortgage interest costs, significantly increasing tax bills. We help Brighton landlords model the impact and plan accordingly.
It depends on your tax rate, number of properties, and long-term plans. We provide a detailed personal versus company tax analysis before any recommendation. For many Brighton landlords with growing portfolios, the numbers increasingly favour a limited company structure.
CGT on residential property is charged at 18% (basic rate) or 24% (higher rate) on gains above the £3,000 annual exempt amount. Various reliefs may apply including principal private residence relief. We prepare all property disposal calculations and HMRC 60-day reporting.
