Capital Gains Tax on Property
Selling a rental or second home? Don't let CGT deadlines catch you out. From estimating your tax before you sell to filing the 60-day UK property return after completion — fixed-fee support at every stage.
Get in touchSelling a buy-to-let or other residential property can trigger a capital gains tax (CGT) bill — and strict 60-day deadlines to report and pay HMRC using the UK property CGT return. Missing those deadlines can mean penalties and interest.
We help you understand your potential tax, plan ahead, and file correctly within the 60-day window — with clear, fixed-fee services at every stage.
When you might need help
"What will the tax be?"
You're considering selling a buy-to-let or second home and want to know the likely CGT bill before you commit. We can estimate your potential gain and tax, explain how reliefs, costs and ownership split affect the figure, and help you decide if and when to sell — with eyes wide open.
"I want to plan ahead"
You've sold (or are about to sell) and want to understand what CGT you're likely to pay, how the 60-day reporting works, and how this interacts with your self-assessment return. We'll map out the numbers, dates and cash-flow impact so there are no surprises.
"I need to file within 60 days"
You've completed on a residential property sale and must now work out the gain and tax, file a UK property CGT return, and pay HMRC — all within 60 days of completion. We calculate the gain, prepare the figures, submit the return to HMRC for you, and ensure everything ties in with your year-end self-assessment.
Don't miss the 60-day deadline
Get in touch as soon as you know a sale is happening. The sooner we start, the more options you have.

Capital Gains Calculations
We work out your gain or loss, taking into account purchase price and sale proceeds, legal and professional fees, capital improvements, and available allowances and reliefs. You get a clear summary of how the figure is built and what tax is due.
60-Day UK Property CGT Returns
For UK residential property disposals caught by the 60-day rules, we register or access your HMRC CGT account, complete and submit the property CGT return, and advise on payment amounts and deadlines.
Planning and Advice
Where you're still at the planning stage, we can model different sale timings and scenarios, consider ownership splits (for couples, for example), and coordinate CGT with your wider income and allowances for the year.
Linking to Self-Assessment
We make sure your 60-day report and your year-end self-assessment line up, and adjust for any over- or under-payments.
