Nottingham · Delivered RemotelyLandlord Bookkeeping in Nottingham
Remote, specialist property bookkeeping for Nottingham landlords - work with a specialist landlord-bookkeeper wherever you and your properties are. Nottingham is one of the most heavily regulated rental markets in England, and we keep its records clear and reconciled for your accountant. Bookkeeping only; no tax advice. Current as at 12 September 2026.
Run by professional landlords with decades of experience of property and accounting for their own businesses.
Landlord bookkeeping in Nottingham comes with more paperwork than most cities. Nottingham has a deep student market driven by two universities, strong yields across NG7, NG5 and NG9, and one of the most extensive licensing regimes in England. Landlords here run student houses in Lenton and Dunkirk, city-centre flats, and family lets across Sherwood, Hyson Green and the suburbs - and most of them carry a licence of one kind or another.
We are not a Nottingham firm on your doorstep. We are a specialist landlord-bookkeeping service that works with Nottingham landlords remotely. However your records are kept today - bank feeds, agent portals, spreadsheets or paper - we pull them into one clear, reconciled set of schedules, one per property and per tax year. Bookkeeping and documentation, plus optional personal Self Assessment filing; we do not give tax advice or file company returns.
From Structured Landlord Bookkeeping
- Property-by-property schedules showing income and expenditure clearly for each tax year
- Transactions grouped into simple, repeatable categories - rent, repairs, insurance, service charges, finance costs
- Licence fees recorded against the right property - useful where nearly every let is licensed
- Records reconciled to bank and agent statements, with gaps and anomalies flagged for you to resolve
- Documentation your accountant can work from without rebuilding your records from scratch
Nottingham: One of the Most Licensed Markets in England
What sets Nottingham apart is that it runs two licensing regimes at once: a large selective scheme and citywide additional HMO licensing. So it is not just big shared houses that need a licence - small ones do too. As at 2026, the broad picture is below. Licensing schemes and boundaries change, so always check the current position for a specific property:
Selective licensing
A large city selective scheme, renewed for five years from late 2023 across many wards. In the designated areas, ordinary private lets need a licence - each one a fee and a record.
Additional HMO licensing
Citywide, and it catches smaller shared houses too (3 or more people from 2+ households). So almost every HMO needs a licence in Nottingham, not just the larger ones.
Article 4 & planning
In Lenton and Dunkirk, new small-HMO conversions need planning permission, and ward HMO-concentration limits can apply - shaping the student-let market.
With selective and additional licensing running together, many Nottingham landlords hold several licence fees across a portfolio. Each fee is logged against the property it belongs to, so it never gets lost. We keep the records - we do not advise on licensing or planning, and the details above are for general context only. For the rules and fees that apply to a specific property, always check the current position with Nottingham City Council or your professional adviser.

Nottingham Landlords: Your Questions
Are you based in Nottingham?
No - we are a specialist landlord-bookkeeping service that works with landlords across the UK, and Nottingham is one of the most heavily licensed rental markets we support. Everything is handled digitally, so distance makes no difference: your Nottingham properties are handled just as if they were next door, with no need to meet.
In Nottingham almost every HMO needs a licence. Can you keep the records straight?
Yes. Nottingham runs both a large selective scheme and citywide additional HMO licensing, so even smaller shared houses - not just the larger ones - usually carry a licence and a fee. Every licence fee is logged against the property it belongs to, and we keep clear, per-property schedules. We keep the bookkeeping; we do not apply for licences or give licensing advice.
Do you support student HMOs in Lenton and Dunkirk?
Yes. Nottingham has a deep student market, driven by the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent. Areas such as Lenton, Dunkirk and Hyson Green are full of student houses. Student HMOs have their own bookkeeping quirks - rent per room, the academic year cutting across the tax year, and higher transaction volumes - and we keep those clear, room by room and property by property.
Do you file tax returns or give tax advice?
For landlords who own personally, we can prepare and file your Self Assessment return (from £150). For a company, the corporation tax return (CT600) is prepared and filed by your own accountant. Tax advice itself we leave to a qualified tax adviser. Everything is built on the records we produce.
How do we work together if we never meet?
It all runs digitally and securely. You get your records to us however is easiest - upload, email or post - and we hand back clean, reconciled schedules, one set per property and tax year. It makes no difference whether your properties sit in the NG7 student streets, a city-centre block, or the suburbs.
Where can I see your fees?
Fees are published separately on our Pricing page. This page does not show pricing.
