Could your local authority help pay for your next property refurbishment? In this eye opening episode, we reveal how landlords and property investors could reduce renovation costs, improve cash flow, raise returns, and bring a property to market faster through grants, loans, incentives, and valuable VAT relief.
We explore buying below market value, tackling a rundown probate property, renovating a boarded up home, and improving an existing buy to let. Using Nottingham City Council as an example, we discuss how local and national schemes may support upgrades that improve energy performance and help landlords meet EPC requirements.
Discover potential support for wall insulation, loft insulation, underfloor insulation, air source heat pumps, smart heating controls, solar panels, and boiler upgrades. We explain why smart controls may help HMO owners where bills are included, and how greater energy efficiency can benefit tenants while protecting your investment.
Then we uncover the VAT details many investors overlook. Depending on the work, the property, and how qualifying materials are supplied and installed, energy saving improvements may attract a reduced or zero VAT rate instead of the standard rate. We also discuss homes left empty for more than two years, including probate properties, where qualifying refurbishment work may receive a reduced VAT rate in certain circumstances.
You will learn where to search, what to ask your local authority, why you should send a full schedule of works, and how persistence with councils, government schemes, contractors, and advisers could uncover meaningful savings. Before funding the entire refurbishment yourself, ask, who else could help pay, what support is available, and could the VAT bill be reduced?
Essential listening for landlords, buy to let investors, HMO owners, developers. Eligibility and tax treatment depend on current rules and individual circumstances, so verify details with the authority and a qualified adviser.

Pension inheritance tax starts on 6 April 2027, and landlords and property investors could see up to 64% of an inherited pension go in tax. In this episode you'll hear exactly how, and what to model now.
Simon Misiewicz of Optimise Accountants explains the new rules on inheritance tax on pensions: from 6 April 2027 unused pension funds and death benefits count towards your estate (Finance Act 2026). If you die at 75 or over, your beneficiaries also pay income tax on what they draw, so a £300,000 pension can lose £120,000 to IHT and £72,000 to income tax. Simon also covers the nil-rate band frozen at £325,000 until April 2031, the £175,000 residence nil-rate band taper above £2m, and CGT at 24% on property sales.
In this episode you'll hear:
• Why the frozen £325,000 nil-rate band makes the real rate on your estate far higher than 40%
• Simon's worked example: on a £750,000 estate, IHT is 81% of the "fair" excess
• Record inheritance tax receipts and the government's £710m to £1.665bn forecast from taxing pensions
• Why selling property can leave your family 45.6p of every £1 of gain after CGT and IHT
• How pensions push estates over £2m and wipe out the residence nil-rate band
• The 64% combined tax on a pension when you die at 75 or over
• Seven-year gifts, gifts out of surplus income and staying under £2m
• Simon's map, model, decide plan
Questions answered in this episode:
• Will my pension be subject to inheritance tax from April 2027?
• Do my children pay income tax on my pension if I die after 75?
• How much of a £300,000 pension would my family actually get?
• What happens to the residence nil-rate band if my estate is over £2 million?
• Is inheritance tax really only 40%?
• How can I reduce inheritance tax on my pension and property?
Key takeaway: Pensions join your estate on 6 April 2027, so map your assets and model your IHT now, while you still have time to act.

Are you about to sell a buy to let property and unknowingly hand HMRC thousands more than necessary? In today’s episode, we reveal the costly capital gains tax mistakes landlords and residential property investors make, and the practical planning opportunities that could protect more of your profit.
We explain why panic selling after a tax news headline can be a financial mistake, especially when proposals, Budget announcements, implementation dates and legislation are not the same thing. You will hear why every decision should be based on the numbers, the official rules and the long term value of your property.
Discover how to calculate your taxable gain properly, including the sale price, estate agent fees, conveyancing costs, VAT, original purchase price, mortgage arrangement fees, legal fees and stamp duty. We also explore capital improvements, the difference between genuine improvements and repairs already claimed against rental income, and why missing records can leave landlords paying too much tax.
The episode covers residential property capital gains tax rates of 18 percent and 24 percent, the 3000 pound annual exemption, the 60 day HMRC reporting and payment deadline, and the danger of inaccurate self assessment calculations. We show how completion statements, historic tax returns and documentation can help support the correct claim.
You will also learn how carefully timing 2 property sales across different tax years may unlock more than one annual exemption, how losses on property, shares or cryptocurrency may reduce taxable gains, and why recorded losses can sometimes be carried forward.
Finally, we examine transfers between spouses and civil partners, deeds of trust, Form 17, ownership proportions, unused exemptions and the potential value of using a lower tax band. Before selling, transferring ownership or acting on rumours, run the numbers and speak with a qualified tax specialist. This episode is for education only and is not personal tax advice.

Could your limited company become a financial prison for your family overnight? In today’s episode, we expose the hidden legal and financial risks behind one of the cheapest and most common company setups, having one director, one shareholder and a single ordinary share.
If illness, an accident or another crisis leaves you incapacitated, who can access the business bank account, pay suppliers, collect customer income and support your household? We explain why simply handing your bank card and PIN to a spouse or partner can create serious questions around authority, company money, creditor duties and potential fraud. Your company is a separate legal entity, which means the cash inside it is not automatically yours to use however you wish.
We explore practical ways to protect the business and the people who depend on it, including appointing a second director, arranging an appropriate power of attorney, reviewing bank access and seeking professional legal advice. We also examine share ownership, alphabet shares, dividends and how the right structure may create tax planning opportunities for couples with different income tax positions.
Then we confront the worst case scenario, what happens when a sole director and shareholder dies? Company accounts may be frozen, appointing a replacement director can take time, shares must pass through the estate, and grieving relatives may struggle to get help from banks, accountants or lawyers. For unmarried couples, the danger may be even greater. Without a valid will and clear succession planning, a partner could receive nothing, while assets pass under intestacy rules to children, parents or other relatives.
This episode is an urgent wake up call for company owners, landlords, consultants, tradespeople and family businesses. Review your directors, shareholders, will, power of attorney and succession plans now. A setup that saves money today could cost your family everything tomorrow. Take action today, before a crisis strikes.

Are you paying more tax than necessary on your property portfolio, or could moving property into a limited company cost far more than expected? This episode examines the tax charges, finance costs and complications landlords should understand before restructuring ownership.
We explain why transferring personally owned buy to let property into a limited company can create a costly combination of Stamp Duty Land Tax, higher rates for additional dwellings, Capital Gains Tax, refinancing fees, higher mortgage rates and conveyancing costs. What looks like a tax saving decision can become an expensive process.
We then explore whether a deed of trust could provide an alternative for some married couples and civil partners. Discover how changing beneficial ownership may affect the allocation of rental income and allowable expenses between spouses in different tax bands.
You will learn how a deed of trust differs from HMRC Form 17, when evidence of unequal beneficial ownership may be required and why the 60 day submission deadline matters where Form 17 applies. We compare a single deed for one property with a blanket deed covering several properties, including the flexibility and administration involved.
The episode covers signing and witnessing the deed, reporting the correct ownership shares through Self Assessment and keeping records aligned with Making Tax Digital. We also discuss Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions and examine a scenario involving a 99 percent and 1 percent ownership split, changes to PAYE income and income from a side business.
This is not a guaranteed tax saving or universal solution. Capital Gains Tax treatment, Stamp Duty Land Tax, mortgage conditions and legal consequences depend on the facts, including ownership, debt and consideration. Speak with an accountant, tax adviser, solicitor and mortgage broker before taking action.
Listen now and discover whether incorporation or a deed of trust deserves a place in your property tax strategy.

If you are tired of clunky accounting software, confusing digital tax requirements, and unnecessary monthly costs, this episode offers a practical route towards simpler bookkeeping and greater control. Listen now to discover whether FreeAgent could save you money, reduce administration, and change how you manage your property business.

Which of your properties are genuinely making money, and which ones are quietly draining your wealth? Many landlords spend hours searching Rightmove for their next investment while failing to examine the performance of the properties they already own.
In this episode, we reveal how to conduct a complete property portfolio review and uncover whether you, the bank, or HMRC are making the most money from your investments.
We explain the essential figures every landlord should track, including current property value, original purchase price, mortgage balance, interest rate, rental income, acquisition costs, Stamp Duty Land Tax, refurbishment spending, letting agent fees, and potential Capital Gains Tax.
You will discover why missed rent reviews can leave thousands of pounds on the table, how rising mortgage costs can destroy monthly cash flow, and why knowing your true annual profit is more important than simply counting how many properties you own.
We examine return on investment, return on capital employed, rental yield, and interest rate sensitivity analysis. What would happen to your portfolio if mortgage rates increased by one, two, or three percent? Could some properties become loss making while you continue paying the lender and HMRC?
We also discuss Section 24 mortgage interest relief, refinancing, loan to value levels, and whether selling an underperforming property could release capital to reduce debt across the rest of your portfolio. This is particularly important for properties in expensive, low yield areas where strong capital values may hide poor income performance.
The episode explores whether transferring personally owned properties into a limited company is worthwhile after considering Stamp Duty Land Tax, Capital Gains Tax, legal fees, and mortgage costs. We also consider limited companies for future purchases and how married couples could review the ownership and taxation of property income as part of their wider investment strategy.
If you have never properly reviewed your portfolio, this episode is your wake up call. Stop guessing, examine the numbers, and discover where your money is really going.

Most property investors believe a good accountant is enough, but saving tax and building real wealth are not the same thing. In today’s episode, we expose why quick tax hacks will never replace a complete property strategy.
We explain the repair, replace, renew concept, a powerful way to offset qualifying kitchen, bathroom, decorating and renovation costs against rental income. But that is only the beginning. We reveal how Optimize Accountants connects every property decision to a clear financial goal.
Should you invest in flats, single lets, HMOs, serviced accommodation or commercial property? Are you trying to replace your salary, create supplementary income, build a pension through capital growth or generate lasting wealth for your family? Your answers should shape your investment plan.
We tackle the limited company debate, when a company may reduce tax, why incorporating by default could become an expensive mistake, and how your tax band, future earnings and plans to leave employment can change the right decision.
Learn how risk appetite, available time and investment capital affect your strategy. We discuss hands on management, paying good letting agents, and why saving fees today could cost far more tomorrow. We challenge the belief that you should always invest locally, comparing income locations such as Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and Huddersfield with capital growth opportunities in Newcastle, Oxford, Cambridgeshire and Surrey.
Finally, discover the eighty twenty income focused strategy, how the client portal connects investors with Rightmove research, and why monthly strategy sessions help landlords move beyond tax efficiency into genuine wealth building.
If you own two to ten properties or want to grow your portfolio, this episode gives you a practical framework. Grab a notepad, define your goal and build a property strategy that makes money, protects your time and supports your future.

Is buy to let dead in 2026, or have landlords simply been looking at the wrong strategy?
In today’s episode, Simon Misiewicz challenges the claim that property investing is finished and reveals how local authority leasing could provide more predictable income, less work and long term capital growth.
We explore how local authorities and management providers such as Serco work with landlords through asylum accommodation and support services. Depending on the agreement, landlords could access leases lasting between five and twenty years, no void periods, no agency fees and far less involvement in daily management, repairs, maintenance and difficult tenant situations.
The rent may be discounted below open market value, but does the calculation change once you remove voids, management costs, repair bills and hours of work? Simon explains why a potential return of around three, four or five percent could still appeal to investors who value reliable income and more control over their time.
We also examine financial support available through selected local authorities and government schemes. This may include warmer homes funding, boiler replacement support, grants to bring empty properties back into use and, under certain arrangements, support equivalent to the Stamp Duty Land Tax paid when purchasing a property. Availability, eligibility and tax treatment vary, making due diligence essential.
Simon discusses how Optimise Accountants is bringing clients together through property joint ventures, combining tax knowledge with opportunities designed to create income, reduce management pressure and support wealth creation.
If you are tired of tenant problems, frustrated by serviced accommodation, questioning the return from furnished holiday lets or considering leaving property altogether, this episode could change how you view buy to let.
Listen now to discover why local authority leasing may be one of the most overlooked UK property strategies for 2026 and beyond.
