Maximising Value for Landlords
LEGISLATIVE & TAX ADVANTAGES
EPC 2025
With over 3 million homes set to fall short of new EPC standards, many landlords face expensive upgrades. Our serviced accommodation model provides an alternative route.​
​
Section 21
Evictions are taking longer than ever, with some stretching to 12 months. Our model avoids this issue entirely by operating with paying guests instead of tenants.
​​
Section 24
Want to save on tax, even without a limited company? Many landlords come to us for this very reason.
TAX BENEFITS
​Capital Gains Tax Reliefs
Owning a serviced apartment allows you to claim a variety of tax reliefs typically reserved for traders. These may include Entrepreneur’s Relief, Hold Over Relief, Relief for Gifts of Business Assets, Relief for Loans to Traders, and Roll Over Relief.
​
Capital Allowances
As the owner of a serviced apartment, you can claim Capital Allowances on items such as equipment, fixtures, and furniture. This means the cost of decorating and furnishing your property can be deducted from your pre-tax profits.
​
Pension Contributions
Profits generated from serviced accommodation are treated as ‘relevant earnings’, enabling you to make pension contributions that benefit from tax advantages.
​
Council Tax vs Business Rates
Serviced apartments are exempt from council tax. Instead, they are subject to business rates, which are set by your local council. In most cases, these rates are lower than standard council tax, offering further savings.
By To Let vs Serviced Accommodation
Higher Profits
A property run as serviced accommodation can typically generate two to three times more profit compared to a traditional buy-to-let, giving landlords and investors far greater financial flexibility.
​
No Risk of Non-Paying Tenants
With buy-to-let, a tenant who defaults on rent can take up to 12 months to evict. In contrast, serviced accommodation has no long-term tenants — guests pay in advance before they even arrive.
​
Property Maintained in Pristine Condition
Serviced accommodation requires properties to be kept to a high standard at all times. Unlike traditional rentals, where the condition of the property at the end of a tenancy can be unpredictable, your property will consistently be presented and maintained to hotel-quality standards.
​
Full Control and Flexibility
Many of our landlords enjoy having more control over their property than they have had in years. With our serviced accommodation model, you choose when your property is available for guests and when you’d like to reserve it for personal use — whether that’s hosting family or taking time out yourself. The asset remains fully flexible and entirely under your control.
