About The Claim
Lancashire Smiles Ltd is a dental practice founded by Dr. Arnold in September 2024 in Preston, Lancashire. The business occupies the ground floor of a refurbished commercial unit that was previously a carpet shop.
The claim was for the costs involved in converting the property into a fully functioning dental practice. A typical project of this nature would usually be expected to generate a claim of 45–50%. Our final result matched that expectation precisely.
Our Approach
Here are some key steps that contributed to making this claim a success:
- Virtual Survey – A remote assessment was carried out using videos, photos, and supporting data.
- Item Valuation – Surveyors valued qualifying items, using actual costs where available for accuracy.
- Technical Analysis – Our team identified claimable items and categorised them into the correct capital allowances pools.
- Client & Accountant Liaison – We verified item quantities with the client and coordinated with their accountant to avoid double claims.
- Report & Submission – A Claim Summary with tax guidance was delivered, followed by final reports after HMRC confirmation.
Examples of some of the embedded qualifying items that we found...
Emergency alarm
Dado trunking
Lead lining to partition
Heat recovery system
An observation from our Managing Director, Chris Roberts...
“While the case was relatively straightforward, the virtual nature of the survey required additional care to verify item details and quantities. We also took extra steps to cross-check and incorporate actual cost data wherever possible to strengthen the accuracy and credibility of the claim.”
“The service was professional, easy to work with, and communication was clear from start to finish. I had no concerns going into the process, and everything was explained clearly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend Capital Allowance Review Service; they were able to secure a significant capital allowances claim for my business, which made a real difference.”
Arnold Gangaidzo | Director
“The team is fantastic to work with. Throughout the project, both the client and I were kept in the loop with regular updates, which gave everyone a lot of confidence that things were moving in the right direction.”
