Sheards Accountants collaborate with Huddersfield property specialists

Huddersfield-based Sheards Accountants is pleased to announce their new property landlord open days, in collaboration with Ridley & Hall Solicitors, Tailored Mortgages and Sheards Wealth Management.

Keen to get involved with Huddersfield Business Week earlier in the month, the award-winning firm joined forces with other businesses to deliver free advice and guidance surrounding the responsibilities of being a property landlord.

Property landlords were invited to discuss any issues they were currently dealing with, including the end of Lettings Relief, introduced in April 2020, as well as capital gains tax rules and changes to the EPC regulations with Tax Manager, Chris Barwick.

Laura Sheriff of Ridley & Hall Solicitors said of the event: “The feedback we’ve had has been absolutely fantastic. Hosting the workshop collaboratively has meant that landlords have gone away with advice that covers the bigger picture including mortgages, legal aspects and accounting.”

The open day proved such a success that it has now become a firm contender in the Sheards Accountants’ events calendar with dates pencilled in for a quarterly event of its kind with the next one to take place 26 February 2020.

Carolyn Atkinson, Director at Sheards Accountants commented: “We were keen to support the initiative behind Huddersfield Business Week as we’re passionate about being located in a town with such a vibrant business community.

“We decided to team with other local businesses in order to emphasise this and it proved to be a great success. We’ve already had a number of follow-ups and we’re looking forward to helping even more landlords at our next event early next year.”
