UK Property Tax for Non Residents

Advice for individuals and companies outside the UK on the tax implications of acquiring, owning, letting or selling UK property.

Who this is for

Advice grounded in your actual circumstances.

For overseas owners and prospective investors who need the UK consequences of a property decision understood before they act.

Individuals living abroad who own or let residential or commercial property in the UK.

Overseas companies holding, acquiring or disposing of UK real estate.

Families considering how a UK property should be purchased, owned or transferred.

Non resident owners preparing to sell, refinance or change the use of a property.

What is included

A defined scope, clearly explained.

Property taxation depends on ownership, use, timing and the wider circumstances of the owner. We consider the transaction and the obligations around it, rather than one tax in isolation.

Advice before acquisition

We examine proposed ownership, intended use and the principal UK tax considerations before contracts are committed.

Rental income

Advice on UK reporting, allowable expenditure and the Non Resident Landlord Scheme where relevant.

Disposals and gains

The UK capital gains position, reporting deadlines and the information needed to support the calculation.

Company ownership

For overseas companies, the UK corporation tax and property obligations arising from ownership or disposal.

Ongoing compliance

We help coordinate returns, payment dates and records throughout the period of ownership.

Why it matters

The tax position begins before completion and continues after a sale.

The structure that appears simplest commercially may have different consequences for income, gains, financing and succession. Advice taken only after purchase can leave fewer practical choices.

Non resident owners also face specific reporting regimes and short filing deadlines. Missing them can create penalties even where little or no tax is due, so advice must reflect the rules and facts applying at the relevant time.

How we work

A clear route from question to action.

01Define the property decision. We clarify whether you are buying, holding, letting, restructuring or selling.

02Review ownership and residence. We establish who owns the property, where they are resident and how it is used.

03Set out the UK consequences. We explain the relevant taxes, filings, deadlines and available choices.

04Support implementation. We coordinate the agreed returns, calculations or further advice.
