I have two fairly basic life lessons:
1. If something is too good to be true then it probably is.
2. Make sure you are careful who you ask, as we all have different definitions of what constitutes good and real – especially when it comes to issues of food and money.

Accountant’s review: Townhouse Oswestry – real value for money

As an accountant who grew up in Powys and Shropshire and spent a lot of my time in and around Oswestry, I feel passionate about the concept of spending my money locally – whenever I can.

Capital Allowances

It is now essential that the section of the Commercial Property Standard Enquiries (CPSE) form relating to capital allowances is completed fully.
If you own or are planning to buy a commercial property, it is essential you complete all necessary paperwork relating to capital allowances.
