We have many years of experience working with landlords and property investors. We have developed the skills and knowledge needed to increase their portfolios. To support our clients further, we work in partnership with trusted advisors and have created the Property Hub, a one-stop shop offering advice to existing and potential property businesses in the East Midlands and nationally.
Specialising in taxation, Haidee supports landlords and property investors to manage their portfolio's financial aspects and conduct reviews to ensure that you are taking full advantage of any tax efficiencies available to them. She can also advise on the best company structure that will be the most tax-efficient way of managing your portfolio.
We work in partnership with Paul Willey Mortgage Brokers Ltd. If you are considering investing in property or improving your returns on a buy-to-let you already own – it is important to do things in the right way. As an Independent Mortgage adviser, Eddie can provide help and advice from start to finish and with years of experience has access to a comprehensive range of investment mortgages.
We also partner with Kingswood Residential Investment Management, they specialise in residential lettings, management and investment, with great knowledge of the local Nottinghamshire market. Chris knows that landlords often have specific requirements with how their properties are let and managed, and it is his desire to tailor their service to fit those requirements wherever possible whilst providing excellent service.
If you are a landlord or a property investor, you will benefit from our support as we have many years of experience working with clients in the property sector. There is always new legislation being issued to landlords, and it can be very challenging to keep up to date with all your responsibilities.
If you are a landlord or a property investor, you may consider setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle (a Property Limited Company). If you own buy-to-let properties, you will have to pay tax based on your rental income, setting up an SPV may be a more tax-efficient option for you.
We have partnered with a company called Hammock that provide a very comprehensive property finance platform for landlords and property investors. We think this will help our clients to save time and in preparation for Making Tax Digital.
Building a successful property portfolio is about much more than finding the right investment. Landlords and property investors face a wide range of decisions throughout their journey, from securing the right finance and choosing the most tax-efficient structure to managing tenants and ensuring properties continue to deliver a strong return.
This is a summary of the latest UK House Price Index as published by Zoopla in June 2026. It shows that the property market is beginning to slow, but there are still opportunities for landlords and property investors who understand their local market. While higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty have reduced buyer activity across the UK, the East Midlands remains resilient.
As tax rules for landlords have evolved in recent years, many property investors have explored alternative ways to structure their portfolios. One option that has become increasingly popular is to purchase and hold property through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
National Insurance (NI) is a tax that helps fund state benefits, including the State Pension. The rules can sometimes feel complicated, but understanding the basics can help you plan and avoid surprises.
The latest insights from the Zoopla House Price Index provide a useful snapshot for landlords and property investors, particularly those operating across Nottingham, Derby and the wider East Midlands. While the national picture remains relatively stable, some clear regional dynamics present both opportunities and risks.
From 1 May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 will come into force, introducing a fundamental change in how residential tenancies operate in England. For landlords, this is not simply a compliance exercise. It denotes a transition to a more regulated, process-driven operating environment.
