The Importance of a Comprehensive Site Survey
Identify Qualifying Items that Usually go Overlooked
One of the key services we offer is a detailed site survey. This process helps identify qualifying items within commercial properties that may not be evident from invoices alone.
Chris Booth, Partner at McKellens Chartered Accountants, shared his experience:
“We thought that we knew all the important stuff about capital allowances…after Paul Roberts had finished with us, we realised there was a whole lot more to be claimed than we first thought! In fact, CARS identified £58,000 of capital allowances over and above what we had already identified…”.
Our team of specialist surveyors and valuers meticulously inspect the property, identifying and valuing each qualifying item according to its purchase date, ensuring maximum tax relief is claimed. This alone is something accountants don’t have the capacity for without an outside source.
Expert Advice in a Dynamic Legislative Environment
Specialist Team
The landscape of tax legislation is continually evolving, making it challenging for accountants to stay current. Therefore inaccurate advice can lead to significant financial losses for clients and potential legal complications.
Our team includes property lawyers, tax specialists, and an ex-HMRC inspector, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all aspects of capital allowance claims.
Sarah Jenkins, Client Partner at Norton Accountancy Limited, attests to the value of our service:
“They take the time to understand my clients’ capital allowances position and offer insightful advice on how to maximise tax relief.”
By staying ahead of legislative changes, we provide accurate, up-to-date advice tailored to each client’s unique situation.

Building Trust Through Results
Strong client relationships are built on trust and proven results. When clients see that their finances are handled meticulously, with thorough site surveys and maximised tax relief, their confidence in their accountant’s services grows.
Angie Barrett, an Accountant at R S Botham & Co, emphasises the importance of CARS’ expertise:
“The expertise that CARS brings to the table is invaluable when it comes to providing the best service for your clients. I have experienced first-hand the lengths they go to in ensuring a good quality claim is produced.”
We typically start with a trial case when partnering with a new accountancy firm, allowing them to experience our exceptional service without risk. Additionally, our no claim, no fee basis ensures that accountants can confidently offer our services without financial risk to their firm or clients.
