Capital Allowances Claims for Commercial Property

Curtis Plumstone managed to identify capital allowances in excess of £575,000 for two of the nursing homes owned by our clients. This has resulted in substantial tax refunds in 2011 and reduced tax liabilities for 2012. We are grateful to John Plumridge and Nick Johnson for their professionalism and advice throughout and would highly recommend them. – Yogi Dhorajiwala CTT ATT of YD Associates.

Recent Changes in legislation served to highlight that one particular client could make more of the capital allowances on this hotel. With some research on different providers we are delighted we approached John Plumridge of Curtis Plumstone. John was able to meet with the client , address any concerns that the client had and provide a survey and report to support a very material claim for capital allowances. Having considered the report carefully we are quite clear that this would not have possible to prepare in house and specialist knowledge is a prerequisite. I would also add that John was very mindful of the accountant / client relationship and at no point did we feel our position was being undermined – remember that these allowances are there to be claimed and it just takes longer for some to submit their claim!!

Having made a very substantial financial investment converting our family run hardware retail outlet into a covered parade of smaller shops, on the advice of our accountants we decided to engage a Capital Allowances Specialist to obtain tax savings that might be available to us. We are most pleased we chose Curtis Plumstone who were professional throughout and produced very good results with minimum disruption of the business and a fee level below the competition. www.warwicklane.co.uk

I was not sure that Capital Allowance claims were something that really applied to my clients but after speaking to John I realised that there was a huge potential. We were working against a tight deadline with a client who was very slow to provide information but Curtis Plumstone bent over backwards and prepared their report in less than a month. The client, a partnership, reduced the January payments for both partners from £10k to £250 each with the allowance from a country pub. Clearly we ended up with a very happy client. I would wholeheartedly recommend Curtis Plumstone in the future.

I have worked with John on a number of clients and have always found him to be knowledgeable and professional. His expertise in capital allowances claims is second to none and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Curtis Plumstone Associates to anyone needing help in this area.

I approached John Plumridge for a historical capital allowances claim on a furnished letting holiday complex of 4 cottages I bought way back in 2006. Things were complicated because I had significantly renovated the cottages since then. He agreed a reasonable fee – a percentage of any extra capital allowances claimable – and his colleague Nick Johnson visited the site within a few weeks. A few weeks later his report was emailed to me, which included £98K of extra Capital Allowances (written down value), and I can use 18% of this every year to claim as an expense against profit. Even as a lower rate taxpayer this will save me £20K in tax over the next few years, BRILLIANT!.

Both Nick & John were extremely friendly and helpful and I have not had any problem submitting my claim to HMRC. I would urge every FHL owner to consider making a historical capital allowance claim if they can – why pay more tax than you need? If you do want to make a claim then I FULLY RECOMMEND Curtis Plumstone, they did exactly what they said they would do, the process was painless, took virtually none of my time and has saved me loads of dosh – what’s not to like?

I did approach several other companies, most of them didn’t call back, had a much higher fee, were too pushy or I wasn’t convinced by their attitude on the ‘phone.

The results on our commercial property portfolio surpassed our best expectations and we wish to express our appreciation for the professional and efficient manner in which the exercise was carried out. A.R. Morgan.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness and Value. Totally professional service from John and his Associates. I would certainly recommend Curtis Plumstone.

Thank you very much for completing the capital allowances claim for the purchase of our Children’s Residential Home at 12 Oak Road and sharing the report. I will satisfy the invoice as agreed. I look forward to working with you next year to round off our contract, including the calculation of the capital allowance claim for the refurbishment of 12 Oak Road.

Totally professional service from John and associates. I would certainly recommend

We engaged Curtis Plumstone to provide Capital Allowances advice on a FHL. From the outset, John and his team were very professional, knowledgeable and commercially competitive. I can recommend them to anyone looking to do the same in this sector.

We were in the process of selling a factory when we were asked about the transfer of Capital Allowances. This was unknown territory for us as we had no experience of it and even our accountant and our lawyer were unable to fully advise on what seemed like a minefield! We researched experts in this sector and discovered Curtis Plumstone. John was extremely helpful from the onset and he quickly gained our confidence with his knowledge and approachability. His team brought a successful claim to fruition in a very timely and efficient process which also expedited the sale of our property. We are very grateful for their valued assistance and fair pricing structure. We highly recommend working with this company without any reservation!

UK Padel were very pleased with the diligence and work conducted by John, Nick and the team at Curtis Plumstone Associates in their capital allowances claim. A great deal of research went into what we think was the first claim of it’s kind in the UK Padel market, and we were kept up to date with the progress all the way through.

I can’t speak highly enough of my experience of dealing with John and Nick through the process of purchasing a commercial building and their ultimate help in arranging a capital allowance claim on the fixtures and fitting that existed.

Nick’s hard work and forensic approach ultimately saved us £16000.00 in corporation tax which for a small business like us was a fantastic outcome.

Thanks ever so much chaps really appreciate all your assistance.

First class job.

Previously dealt with Curtis Plumstone for capital allowance guidance for two commercial properties. Very efficient team, with friendly advice and transparent towards work involved, timescale, cost of services, total claims expected and liaising directly with my accountants. Would definitely recommend their services

John and Nick recently helped me with a capital allowances claim on an FHL. From the first contact they were professional, extremely knowledgeable and very helpful.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to make a claim. It saved me thousands. Thank you gentlemen.

A brilliant experience with John and Nick from the start. They were able advise us ahead of an acquisition and have subsequently supported us in realising the significant capital allowances claim on the purchase.

We are very pleased with the outcome and will be leaning on their expertise in the years ahead.

A superb company which delivers on time and as promised. I was struck by the personable nature of John, and his creative solutions to pricing and timing were impressive. I felt looked after due to the personal nature of the service, and every question I had was answered with patience and professionalism. Following their work, which required me answering a handful of questions and was truly no more onerous than that, I have now been able to submit a Capital Allowances claim for my Furnished Holiday Let that will save me many thousands of pounds. Due to my tight budget, John exceeded the structure of the service fee payment in an equally low stress way.
There are a lot of charlatans. This is the real deal and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
