SERVICES
We work with residential and commercial property investors, construction companies and estate agents.
The Scottish property sector is diverse with complex financial and tax implications that require professional expertise in order to maximise investments and stay in full compliance with UK law.
At Callan Accountancy we have extensive experience in working with property owners, landlords and letting agents. We work with residential and commercial property investors, construction companies and estate agents.
The Scottish property market can be rewarding — but managing the finances behind it often isn’t. Many landlords, investors and letting agents find themselves spending hours untangling spreadsheets, chasing paperwork or dealing with unexpected tax bills. Your focus should be on building your portfolio, not worrying about compliance, VAT or whether your accountant has missed another relief.
That’s where Callan Accountancy steps in. We specialise in simplifying the complex world of property finance, helping you stay organised, compliant and profitable — without the usual stress.
We can help. Why not get in touch?

Unclear profitability per property — you know your rental income but not your true return after maintenance, agency fees and tax.
Late or missing paperwork — endless receipts, invoices and statements scattered across emails and spreadsheets.
Unplanned tax liabilities — capital gains, LBTT or VAT surprises that appear when it’s too late to plan.
Unclear ownership structures — should you hold property personally or through a company? Most accountants don’t advise.
Outdated systems — poor communication, long waits for year-end figures, and no visibility of real-time performance.
Time and again, clients come to us frustrated with “tick-box” accountants who only appear once a year. Typical complaints include:
“I only hear from my accountant at year-end.”
“They file my returns, but they don’t help me plan ahead.”
“I never know how my properties are performing until months later.”
“They don’t understand the property industry.”
In short, property clients want more than compliance — they want clarity, proactive advice and confidence that their accountant truly understands their world.
At Callan, we combine deep property-sector experience with modern accounting technology to give clients the insight and control they’ve been missing. Here’s what sets us apart:
We set up systems that track each property’s income, costs and profitability — instantly. Whether you manage a single flat or a large portfolio, you can log in anytime and see how your investments are performing.
We go beyond simple compliance. Our team helps you plan for acquisitions, disposals and portfolio restructuring. We advise on capital gains, LBTT, inheritance tax, VAT on property transactions and reliefs such as incorporation relief or business asset disposal relief.
No hidden fees or vague quotes. We offer clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying for — and when. Our clients appreciate the simplicity and the absence of nasty surprises.
Using secure, cloud-based tools, we make bookkeeping simple and automated. You can scan receipts on your phone, track expenses by property, and receive regular digital reports that make sense.
We believe in partnership, not once-a-year contact. Our team provides ongoing advice, quarterly reviews and tailored recommendations as your property business evolves.
From first-time landlords to experienced developers, we guide clients through:
