Why landlords choose us
Property tax, kept simple
Whether you have one buy-to-let or a growing portfolio, we'll prepare your rental accounts and tax return, send your Making Tax Digital updates, and help you pay the right tax and no more. A fixed £25 per property a month, with FreeAgent included.
A simple per-property fee
Rental accounts, your tax return, MTD submissions and advice, for £25 per property a month plus VAT. You know exactly what it costs as your portfolio grows.
Making Tax Digital for landlords
Landlords are in MTD for Income Tax too. We send your quarterly updates and Final Declaration, so you never have to log in to HMRC.
FreeAgent Rental
A FreeAgent Rental subscription is included, so rent, repairs, agent fees and mortgage statements are all recorded in one place.
Advice on rental income
What you can claim, how jointly owned property is treated, and how mortgage interest is handled. We explain it in plain English.
Selling or restructuring
Capital Gains Tax when you sell, and whether holding property in a company makes sense for you, are available as additional services.
Self-employed too?
If you also run a business, we can look after both. Remember that your rental and self-employed income count together for MTD.
Making Tax Digital
MTD for landlords
From April 2026, landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must keep digital records, send quarterly updates to HMRC and file a Final Declaration. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028.
Qualifying income is your gross rent (and any self-employed turnover) before expenses, so a portfolio can be in MTD long before its profits look large. We will check where you stand and handle the submissions for you.
Full dates, deadlines and penalties are on our Making Tax Digital page.

Growing a portfolio
Thinking about your next property?
Before you buy, it is worth talking through how to own it: in your own name, jointly, or through a company. Each has different tax consequences now and when you sell, and the right answer depends on your income and your plans.

Reviews
What our clients say
“Barry and the team have been extremely helpful with the management of our personal and business finances over the past year. They always offer great advice and are quick to respond to any query, no matter how small.”
Ian CainsExtremely helpful “I was previously with a large Bristol based firm, but found them unresponsive, and unhelpful in assisting me with my small business. The team at Focus couldn't be better. Barry helped me resolve a number of historical issues, then set me up on FreeAgent which has made life moving forward much easier.”
Robert FisherOverwhelmingly positive “Barry offers a proactive approach to his services, and is accessible when you have questions or need assistance. Along with traditional accountancy, he also incorporates tax planning and looking at ways of simplifying record keeping.”
Simon CummingsProfessional and reliable Questions
Questions landlords ask us
What we hear most from landlords and property investors.
How much does a landlord accountant cost?
Our Rental Accounts service is £25 per property a month plus VAT. That includes FreeAgent Rental, your tax return, MTD submissions, advice on your rental income and phone and email support.
Does Making Tax Digital apply to landlords?
Yes. MTD for Income Tax applies to landlords from April 2026 if gross rental and self-employed income is over £50,000, from April 2027 over £30,000, and from April 2028 over £20,000. Read our MTD guide.
Is the MTD threshold based on rent or profit?
Rent. Qualifying income is your gross rental income, plus any self-employed turnover, before expenses are deducted.
Can you help when I sell a property?
Yes. Capital Gains Tax is one of our additional services: we can work out what is due, and help you report and pay it on time.
Should I hold my properties in a limited company?
It depends on your income, your borrowing and your plans for the properties. There's no one answer for everyone, so we look at your situation before giving advice.
Do you work with landlords outside Bristol?
Yes. Wherever you or your properties are in the UK, we can look after your rental accounts online.
