Property and Landlords
Expert property accountants in Weston-super-Mare for property owners and landlords
At PW John & Co accountants in Weston-super-Mare we understand that for many property owners or landlords, rental income may not be your primary source of income.
Trying to keep on top of your annual accounts and tax returns whilst pursuing a career, managing a business or simply juggling a busy life can prove stressful and time consuming. And even if property is your full-time occupation, slaving over the books may not be the best use of your time.
Our team of experts can help you to manage your annual accounts, tax returns, book keeping, tax planning, VAT and/or payroll.
Do property landlords need an accountant?
It is not mandatory for property landlords to hire an accountant. If you’re confident that you can deal with your own finances, it is possible to prepare your own accounts and tax returns.
However, an experienced property accountant will be able to help you minimise tax and maximise profit on your rental properties.
What do property accountants do?
Our team of expert property and landlord accountants will prepare your annual accounts and tax returns whilst ensuring that your rental property is as tax efficient as possible.
We will keep you up to date with any changes in compliance or legislation, advise you on tax relief for landlords and assist you in managing your portfolio of properties.

Here’s what our property and landlord clients say about us
“After extremely negative experiences with several other accounting services we were recommended PW John, so decided to try – and haven’t regretted the move after nearly two decades. They have looked after our account, actually knowing the ins and outs of the property industry has made such a difference. The service has been prompt, efficient, friendly and easily approachable. Couldn’t fault the service we have received”.
