If you're developing or investing in property in the North West, there's a good chance of it. Not through negligence — just because nobody's told you where to look.
We do complex property tax exceptionally well. We're honest when something sits outside that, and we'll point you in the right direction.
VAT, SDLT, CGT, and structure advice for residential and commercial developers across the North West. From plot acquisition through to disposal.

We're not a generalist practice learning on the job. We're property tax specialists. The advice we give is built to last: solid positions, nothing that falls apart under scrutiny.
Our storyRobust structures, solid positions, nothing that falls apart when HMRC comes knocking.
Complex information flows clearly. Technical positions translated into things you can act on.
Cutting-edge thinking and modern tools, grounded in technical accuracy.
Based in the region. We know the market, the operators, and the projects.
Property tax is full of traps. Here's where we focus and where the real opportunities tend to sit.
Zero-rating, reduced rates, domestic reverse charge, option to tax, DIY housebuilder schemes. The most misunderstood area in property tax, and one of the biggest.
Multiple dwellings relief, linked transactions, mixed-use assessments, first-time buyer exemptions. High-value, high-impact for developers, especially on connected transactions.
Development profit vs capital gain. Trading vs investment. Principal Residence Relief on new builds. Structure matters enormously. Getting it wrong is expensive.
When to use a company, when not to. Group structures, inter-company loans, freehold/leasehold splits, finance considerations. We help you set it up right from the start.
MTD rollout, tribunal decisions, new guidance. We track it so you don't have to. We translate it into plain English you can act on.
Real scenarios, real numbers, real outcomes. Not generic advice. Specific observations from projects we've worked on that you can actually use.
We don't write letters nobody reads. We tell you what matters, why it matters, and what to do about it.
"If you're buying a plot and developing it yourself, there's a good chance you're missing a VAT opportunity. Most developers we meet are leaving money on the table. Not through negligence. Just because nobody's told them."
"SDLT can catch developers out on connected transactions. If you've bought two adjacent plots separately, HMRC may aggregate them, and the bill can be significant. Worth checking before you complete."
"We work with developers and investors across Merseyside (Liverpool, Wirral and Southport), Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Cheshire. We know the North West market: the planning landscape, the funding environment, the active operators. That context matters when we're advising you."
We do complex property tax and advisory exceptionally well. When something sits outside that, we're honest. We'll point you in the right direction.
Start a conversationPicked up a VAT issue on our current scheme that our previous accountant had completely missed. The saving more than covered two years of fees in one conversation.
Clear, direct advice with no padding. They told us exactly what our SDLT exposure was, why, and what we could do about it. In language we could actually follow.
Got my CIS refund sorted quickly and with no hassle. I'd been putting it off for two years. Wish I'd called sooner.
Whether you're structuring a new scheme, checking an existing position, or just not sure what you should know, we're happy to talk.
