Landlords of Coventry

🚨 NOT ALL ACCOUNTANTS ARE THE SAME 🚨

👣 You wouldn’t go to a chiropodist for 👁️ eye surgery.

They’re both Doctors, but they have very different expertise. 🤷‍♂️

The same applies to accountants. 📊

🚨 Or even worse… are you just paying for a bookkeeper thinking you’re getting tax advice? 📚💷

A property specialist accountant should understand:
🏠 Landlord taxation
🏢 Incorporation
💷 Capital Gains Tax
📉 Section 24
📑 Tax planning
📈 Long-term investment strategies

❌ The wrong advice can cost you thousands.
✅ The right advice can save you thousands.

Don’t choose an accountant because they’re cheap.
Choose one because they understand property. 🏡

💬 Does your accountant specialise in landlords… or are they just an accountant?

🚨 WHO WOULD BE A LANDLORD? Courses 🚨

💰 Property courses… £1,000, £5,000… even £20,000!

Are they worth it? 🤔

My opinion ?

Many are designed to make money from aspiring vulnerable people, not for aspiring landlords.

You know the script…

🎤 “Today’s price only…”
🎤 “Only 5 places left…”
🎤 “Don’t miss this opportunity…”
🦄 💩 “You’ll be financially free in 12 months…”

I’ve been in property for decades, managed 1,000’s of properties, and I’ve never paid £20,000 for someone to tell me how to be a landlord.

📚 Learn the legislation .
💰 Run the numbers
👨‍💼 Build relationships with experienced landlords.
🏠 Take your time
🐍 Watch out for snake oil
💷 Save your money for your next investment.

That’s far more valuable than most expensive courses.

🏡 Is Coventry building enough new homes?

The latest figures paint an interesting picture:

📊 Government target: 1,388 new homes per year
🏘️ Average actually delivered (2022–2025): 1,148 per year

That’s around 240 homes a year below the government’s target.

Some other key figures:

🏠 799 new homes received their first Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in the year to March 2026 – 42 fewer than the previous year.

📋 75% of housing planning applications decided by Coventry City Council were approved in the year to March 2026, compared with 76% across England.

The challenge doesn’t appear to be planning approvals alone. Delivering enough homes depends on factors including land availability, infrastructure, viability, labour, finance, and developers building out approved sites.

Do you think Coventry is building enough homes, or should more be done to increase supply?
