Could your property be hiding thousands in unclaimed tax relief?
Money spent on fixtures and building systems is often missed because identifying it can require a specialist property survey. Unlock Tax Relief helps you check what may have been left on the table.

What are capital allowances?
Tax relief linked to things already inside your property
When a commercial building is bought, built or improved, some of the money spent on fixtures and systems may qualify for tax relief.
That can include heating, lighting, electrics, air conditioning, lifts, security systems and fitted kitchens. The rules are detailed, so the first step is simply checking whether your property is worth looking at.
Already have an accountant?
Your accountant and a property specialist do different jobs
A normal set of accounts may not separately identify items built into the property. A specialist survey adds the property evidence needed to value them.
Your accountant
Usually works from invoices, accounts and information already recorded for the business.
The surveying specialist
Inspects and values embedded items such as cabling, pipework, heating, lighting and other building systems that may not have separate invoices.
Working together
The specialist evidence supports the tax work and can be shared with your existing accountant. It is an additional area of expertise, not a replacement.
Shops, cafes and restaurants
Lighting, counters, fitted kitchens, ventilation, electrics, heating and security systems may all be relevant.
Hotels, care homes and HMOs
Bedrooms, bathrooms, fitted kitchens, fire and security systems, heating and communal areas can make these properties fixture-rich.
Industrial and short-stay property
Heavy-duty electrics, heating and ventilation may matter in workshops; fitted facilities may matter in qualifying short-stay accommodation.
