Who we are
We help maximise tax relief on expenditure through government-backed fiscal incentives, which are designed to initiate investment, stimulate economic growth and promote innovation and energy-efficient technologies.
Our consultants provide a specialist understanding of the legislation and precedent tax law to maximise your entitlement to all relevant tax reliefs. Our strength lies in our ability to work unobtrusively with your business and with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
Our track record
We have a 20-year track record of successfully working with FTSE 100 and mid-market property companies, innovative product developers, global property fund managers and multi-site operators. We have advised on over £50bn of property funds, transactions, capital expenditure and R&D projects and unlocked over £1bn of additional cash for clients to invest, improve cash flow and grow.
Our team
The expertise within our team combines capabilities in surveying, tax, accounting and law, with many of us dual qualified in surveying and tax. The result is a professional and adaptable service that complements your tax, finance, property and design teams.

Where we can help
Tax incentives on property investment
Investors are continuously identifying opportunities to improve margins and enhance returns. Capital allowances can play a significant role in this value engineering.

Developers who take advantage of the full array of available fiscal incentives often see a marked improvement in cash flow, in turn improving margins and mitigating financial risk.
Find out moreTax incentives on fit-out and refurbishment
Owning the freehold is not necessary to claim capital allowances. As a tenant or occupier, you will incur expenditure on a fit-out and refurbishment and as much as 90% of the total expenditure could qualify for tax relief.
