What you can do
- Quarterly updates for UK property and foreign property
- Cumulative totals: your latest figures replace the last submission
- Year‑end adjustments & allowances (e.g., losses, capital allowances)

Good to know (property updates)
- Consolidated expenses under £90k turnover: if your total property income is under £90,000, you can submit a few headline figures — income total and a single consolidated expenses total — instead of detailed expense categories.
- Rolling submissions: your quarterly update doesn’t have to stop at the quarter end — you can include figures right up to today, then resubmit later if things change.
- Foreign property is reported per property: HMRC creates a unique property ID for each foreign property. Use a separate spreadsheet and send a separate quarterly update for each one.
Quarterly fields you’ll submit (examples)
You’ll send summary totals. Depending on your turnover, you can either submit a minimal set of fields or a fuller breakdown.
If turnover is under £90,000 (minimal)
- Rents received (and other property income)
- Consolidated expenses (single total)
Otherwise (typical fields)
- Income: rents received, reverse premiums/inducements, and up to six income lines depending on your setup
- Allowable expenses (repairs & maintenance, insurance, agent fees, services & utilities for lets)
- Finance costs (e.g., mortgage interest — subject to HMRC rules)
- Foreign property income and expenses for each individual property
Each foreign property is reported separately using the unique property ID created by HMRC.
FAQs
Do I need to send every transaction each quarter?
No. You send summary totals for income and expenses in each quarterly update. Keep digital records; the app sends the totals to HMRC.
What if I fix something later in the year?
Just send another quarterly update — the figures are cumulative. The latest accepted update replaces the previous figures.
Can I include mortgage interest and repairs?
Yes — include them in your expenses totals in line with HMRC rules. You’ll finalise everything at the final declaration.
Do you support multiple properties?
Yes. Keep all of your UK properties in one UK Property spreadsheet. Use a separate Foreign Property spreadsheet for each foreign property. The app shows the quarterly updates you need to send.
Common landlord setups
- Single UK property: keep the figures in one UK Property spreadsheet and send the UK property quarterly update.
- Multiple UK properties: keep them together in one UK Property spreadsheet. You can use separate tabs if that helps you manage your records, but send one set of cumulative totals for your UK property business.
- Foreign properties: use a separate Foreign Property spreadsheet for each property and send its figures using the unique property ID created by HMRC.
