When Mounsey Chartered Surveyors completed their commercial property improvements, they knew there would be tax relief available – but the full extent of potential savings wasn’t clear. Just how much was up for grabs? That’s where our capital allowance specialists stepped in to uncover the true value of their investment.
Finding value in the details – £140k successfully secured
Working closely with Mounsey, our specialist capital allowance team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the property improvements. What we discovered was significant – over £85,000 of qualifying expenditure in the Special Rate pool alone. Combined with additional claim opportunities through the original property purchase and super-deduction scheme, we successfully secured more than £140,000 in tax relief from HMRC.
Breaking down the benefits
Our detailed assessment revealed substantial qualifying elements within the recent improvements:
- A new disabled access lift installation worth £12,525
- Modern, energy-efficient lighting systems totalling £13,326
- Comprehensive air conditioning upgrades valued at £18,112
- Essential power and data infrastructure coming to £12,510
- Energy-efficient window replacements at £8,548
- Various heating and ventilation improvements worth £7,681
But the value didn’t stop there! Our experts also identified £13,325 of integral features from the original property purchase, including electrical installations and water systems – elements that could have been easily overlooked without specialist expertise.
Maximising every opportunity
The timing of the improvements couldn’t have been better for maximising the capital allowances benefits. With the super-deduction scheme in place, we were able to secure enhanced relief on £41,208 of general pool expenditure, delivering even greater tax savings for the Mounsey Team.
The power of expert guidance
As Chris Roberts, our Capital Allowance Director, explains: “This case illustrates the value of expert guidance in securing capital allowances. Our client was able to unlock significant tax benefits by consulting with the DJH Capital Allowances Team. Our team has all the experts needed to put together a robust claim. Without this expertise, large amounts of tax relief could be lost. We encourage anyone who has bought, built, or renovated a commercial property to get in touch.”
What the client thought
“The team’s support was invaluable. Without their expertise, we would have missed out on a significant amount of money. We really appreciate the effort they put into building our case and the excellent communication we received throughout.” Richard Mounsey | Director
