Simon Whybrow

Friend & Grant are a good company with whom to do business. They do not seek to confuse you with “accountancy jargon” but explain what I need to know in plain English. They take a sincere interest in my business, are always efficient, enthusiastic and a joy to work with.

D Ferrers

We moved from our previous accountants due to the lack of personal service we received. Friend & Grant have provided exactly the opposite and it has been a pleasure to do business with them for the past few years. They really are a friendly bunch at Friend & Grant.

Donna Mak

As a seafarer impacted by unconventional legislation, Friend & Grant have helpfully provided me with the professional expertise and flexibility that I require to correctly report my affairs to HMRC, calculate complex deductions that minimise my taxable income, and ensure that I am not overcharged National Insurance.

Paul How

Friend and Grant compiled and managed my application for probate, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their calm efficiency and attention to detail through a complex process took much of the stress away at a difficult time for me. I was particularly impressed and grateful for the level of personal service, marked by regular contact and updates, and for going the extra mile to ensure a timely submission of the application.

Is serviced accommodation a good investment?

Property has been a popular investment for many years and some people view their property portfolio as their retirement pot, particularly where their conventional pension is unlikely to produce sufficient income for their lifestyle. Buy to lets, commercial property investment and furnished holiday lets are all popular, but recently they have been joined by a ‘new kid on the block’ the serviced accommodation and this sector is growing substantially.

Have you considered trusts for holding family investments?

In a recent blog we looked at using a company to hold property investments, however an alternative (and sometimes overlooked) vehicle for ownership of all family investments, property or otherwise, is through a trust structure.
