Introducing Our Accountancy Partner: Equatas Accountants

Unlocking Financial Success Through Strategic Tax and Accountancy Advice

The property market is ever-evolving. As a result, professional landlords and developers face a myriad of financial challenges, from tax compliance and planning to strategic portfolio management.

Whether you own a handful of properties or oversee a multi-million-pound portfolio, navigating the complex financial terrain requires expertise and support tailored to your objectives and goals.

Equatas Accountants are delighted to join the Blue Bricks Community as specialist tax advisors and accountants for landlords and property investors to help their members manoeuvre around this complex terrain.

Expertise Rooted in the Property Sector

In the coming issues of Blue Bricks Magazine, we will be deep-diving into various elements of taxation and regulation to help you manage your finances effectively. But, since this is our first time writing for the publication, we wanted to firstly do a quick introduction to who we are and how we help.

Equatas is a team of seasoned tax advisers and accountants with years of experience assisting clients in the property sector. Tax can be the Achilles’ heel for many property and business owners, with rules often changing.

For example, in the recent Autumn Budget, it was announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves that Stamp Duty Land Tax (the tax applied to purchasing a property) will increase from 3% to 5%, applicable to anyone purchasing an additional property (beyond their main dwelling).

This, of course, will impact many property landlords looking to grow their portfolio.The team understands the nuances of buy-to-let taxation, property portfolio structuring, and compliance with the latest legislative changes.

This knowledge means we can assist in managing rental income and expenses, as well as advising on tax-efficient structures, ensuring that you are always ahead of the curve.
