Event-week short-let accounting
Royal Ascot, regatta and event-driven short lets. Mixed long-let and short-let income split, FHL transition.
From a Castle-ward flat with a regatta-week short let to a Dedworth family home, we work only with property landlords across Windsor and the wider Thames Valley. Premium values, event-driven short-let dynamics, and the structuring questions that come with both.

60-day reporting, PRR planning, and timing across tax years for portfolio rebalancing.
I let three properties long-term and short-let two of them during Royal Ascot week. My old accountant put it all through as one rental account. These split it correctly and recovered tax across two years.
Windsor properties that switch use during a tax year (long let for most of the year, short let for Royal Ascot, the regatta, or other event weeks) need split treatment. The long-let portion goes through the property income page in the normal way. The short-let portion needs separate accounting, with its own expenses, and may qualify for different treatment depending on the post-FHL rules from April 2025. We split the year correctly, including a fair apportionment of standing costs like insurance and maintenance.
