Property & Poppadoms (Property Training) - Legal & Accounting Essentials

While perhaps not the most glamorous topic in property investing, getting your legal and accounting foundations right is absolutely crucial for long-term success, asset protection, and tax efficiency.

This session tackles the intricate aspects of property legal structures, including limited company ownership versus personal ownership, the pros and cons of each approach, and how recent tax changes affect this decision. You’ll understand trust structures, partnership arrangements, and more sophisticated holding structures for larger portfolios.

On the accounting side, we’ll cover essential topics including allowable expenses, capital allowances (which can deliver substantial tax savings but are often overlooked), record-keeping requirements, VAT considerations for certain property activities, and how to structure your affairs for optimal tax efficiency while remaining fully compliant.

You’ll also learn about legal protections including appropriate insurance coverage, liability considerations for different property strategies, and how to safeguard your personal assets from business risks. This knowledge could save you tens of thousands in unnecessary tax or protect you from devastating legal exposure.
