General Practice Surveyors
As Chartered Surveyors ourselves, we appreciate the wide variety of work that a general practice surveyor may undertake both in and out of the office. We understand the frustration when delays hang or don’t complete. So, we have worked with a number of general practice surveyors, involved in the management, valuation, buying, selling and development of land and property, to ensure maximising property tax relief doesn’t delay completion and therefore add value to their clients.
We understand for you, that changes to the rules on claiming capital allowances, in relation to fixtures contained in second-hand properties, has added further levels of due diligence before a transaction is completed. This is where Ċavetta Consulting can assist you to ensure the deal is completed on time.
Traditionally, the impact of capital allowances in sale and letting transactions was considered post completion. However, for tax relief to be maximised, it must be considered at the stage where the heads of terms are being agreed in a transaction, and the change in legislation has encouraged that.
At Ċavetta Consulting, our objective is to provide support to you by adding value to your business in a number of ways, including:
- facilitating your commercial property transactions to proceed smoothly, by carrying out a full capital allowances health check on the property before it goes to market;
- helping you spot unrealised tax relief for you client;
- giving you the tools to help realise the market value in relation to contaminated or derelict land;
- assisting you to structure tax efficient lease incentives for your clients;
- providing an election preparation service that fully meets the requirements of the Capital Allowances Act 2001, and
- by recommending or reviewing clauses to be contained in commercial sales and with respect to agreements for lease.
