On the search for a property accountant? With so many options out there, choosing the right one for you can be a daunting task... So, here’s 5 things to consider: ➪ Are they giving personalised advice tailored to your goals? ➪ Are they property experts or generalists? ➪ Are they up-to-date with the latest tax laws & tech? ➪ Are they transparent about their fees? ➪ Are they the right fit for you?

Decided to move forward using the companies services to expand my portfolio and to purchase a 2 bed apartment which they were advertising to me.  They had valued the property at £175k.  They even negotiated a better price with the developer offering me the property for £154k. This obviously sounds great but was required to pay a consultancy fee for this up front. When the surveyor finally went to value the property they came back telling us it was worth £140k.  I explained I wasn’t comfortable given the circumstances. I was pulling out of the deal and would like a refund on the consultancy fee. Given the above and taking into consideration the size of the difference 35k from their valuation.  They told me the surveyor was wrong and I should find a new one. Explained given the size of the variation i was not comfortable doing this.  They have refused to refund any of the money. I would be vary wary using their services, and not pay them any money until what they have told you transpires to be true.
