If you’re a landlord, chances are you’ve had to deal with tax returns, chasing receipts, and not knowing how much your accountant will charge until it’s too late. It doesn’t have to be like that. At FD Accountants, we offer fixed-fee accounting that gives you one simple price and full support with no nasty surprises. Whether you rent out one property or ten, here’s why that makes a big difference.
You Know What You’re Paying Upfront
Let’s be honest: no one likes getting hit with an unexpected bill.
With fixed-fee accounting, you know exactly what you’re paying — right from the start. No hourly rates, no random extras. Just one clear price for everything agreed.
It helps you plan your money better and saves you from worrying about costs piling up when you pick up the phone to ask a question.
We Help You Claim What You’re Owed
Many landlords don’t realise how much they can claim back on expenses. We make sure you don’t miss out.
Here are a few things you might be able to claim:
-
Repairs and maintenance (not improvements)
-
Letting agent fees
-
Landlord insurance
-
Travel to and from your rental property
-
Accountancy fees (yes, even us!)
If you’ve never claimed these or aren’t sure what counts, we’ll explain it in plain English and sort it for you.
No Stress About Deadlines or HMRC Fines
Late tax returns mean fines. Simple as that. But when we’re looking after your accounts, we make sure everything’s submitted on time.
We keep track of:
-
Self Assessment deadlines
-
Capital Gains Tax deadlines (if you sell a property)
-
Company deadlines (if your property is in a limited company)
We’ll remind you what’s needed and when — so you stay out of trouble.
You Can Ask Questions Without the Meter Running
Ever held off asking your accountant something because you thought it might cost you more?
With FD Accountants’ fixed-fee service, advice is included. You can ask questions, check things, or get help — and not get billed extra every time you do.
We actually want you to ask questions. That’s how we make sure you’re not overpaying tax.
Capital Gains Tax Help
Thinking of selling a rental? You might need to pay Capital Gains Tax. But with the right help, you could cut that bill down.
We can help you:
-
Work out how much you might owe
-
Find out if you qualify for any reliefs
-
Make sure HMRC is told on time (within 30 days of selling)
Don’t leave it until after the sale — it’s always better to check before you sell.
No More Chasing Paperwork at the Last Minute
We know the drill — January rolls around and you’re scrambling to find receipts, rent records, and bank statements.
When you’re with us, we keep things moving all year round. We’ll check in regularly and keep things tidy so there’s no last-minute panic.
You can send your stuff to us in whatever way suits you — paper, email, phone photos — we’ll sort it.
Better for Planning
When you’ve got someone keeping an eye on your tax, you can stop guessing and start planning.
We’ll tell you:
-
What your likely tax bill will be
-
What you could do to pay less
-
If it’s worth changing how you own your property (e.g. personal name vs company)
We don’t overcomplicate it. We give you simple advice based on your real situation.
Good for Growing Landlords Too
If you’re just starting out with one property, fixed-fee accounting gives you peace of mind.
If you’ve got a few rentals or you’re growing a portfolio, we’ll scale up with you. We’ve helped landlords:
-
Move into limited companies
-
Manage mixed portfolios (residential, commercial, HMOs)
-
Keep on top of changing tax rules and claims
No matter the size of your setup, we’ll make sure it’s handled properly — without charging more every time you add a property.
Helps You Stay Ready for What’s Coming
HMRC is bringing in Making Tax Digital (MTD) for landlords soon — meaning you’ll need to keep records and file updates online.
We help you get ready for this in a way that makes sense — using simple tools or even paper if needed, and handling the submissions for you when the time comes.
We’re here to make it work for you, not push you into fancy software.
It Just Makes Life Easier
At the end of the day, fixed-fee accounting is about keeping things simple:
-
No surprise costs
-
No missed claims
-
No stress at tax time
-
No wondering if you’re doing it right
We take the load off, so you can get on with looking after your property and your tenants — or just enjoy the income without the hassle.
