Property Accountant

[PinkPanther]

Bit of a long shot here, but covering every avenue at the moment . I'm currently in the process of getting into property renovation and investment (buy-to-let). I'll be starting with properties the the local area (i.e Tees Valley, Durham, Scarborough) but in order to start off on the right foot I really need a local accountant/tax advisor (Cleveland area ideally) who specialises in the property industry.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

BTW, my interestes are in Teeside/Durham - have you been speaking to the same people I have????

Quite possibly - I believe you mentioned this in a thread about Middlesbrough property a while back, so you might well have planted the seed . I've always been interested in pursuing this and due to a change of work circumstances, I've decided to go for it, full pelt. After a fair bit of reading up and research it transpires that the North East could be a veritable hotspot for property. High yields and low prices, coupled with high employment growth all point to good investment potential, at least I hope so

Only lead I seem to have got so far is www.taxassist.co.uk which have a regional office at Preston Farm Industrial Estate. I found this via www.landlordzone.co.uk/dir/accountants-taxation.htm. However the setup is a franchise operation so it probably won't offer the independent service I am after. Will probably still arrange a 'free initial discussion' with them though.

You could try Michael Gale in Chaloner Street, Guisborough. I dont think he specialises in Property but was recommended by my Financial Advisor

No I haven't. Try sending again, not sure if my spam filter has deleted it.

Tried sending it through PH again. In case you didn't get it I was just wondering if you could send me an email address for Michael Gale? I've got a phone number but as I'm hard-of-hearing I prefer to initiate contact via email.
