With 25+ years of combined quantity surveying and tax expertise, we help property owners unlock significant tax savings. From 'No Saving/No Fee' reviews to complex multi-million pound developments, we provide a client-focused approach built on trust and technical precision.
We aren't just tax advisors; we are specialists who bridge the gap between construction costs and tax legislation. At Colne Capital Allowances, we help owner-occupiers, property funds, and investors across the UK identify and claim the tax relief they are legally entitled to.
Our approach is built on the belief that every property owner deserves a transparent, robust, and professional service. We don't just look at the surface; we use our quantity surveying background to dig into the details that others often miss.
Expertise Led by David Nutt MRICS ATT
Our team is led by Director David Nutt, a dual-qualified professional holding both MRICS and ATT credentials. This rare combination of Chartered Quantity Surveying and Tax Expertise allows us to provide a level of detail that standard accountancy firms simply cannot match.
With over 25 years of combined experience, we have a proven track record of delivering results for high-net-worth individuals and major corporate funds alike. We pride ourselves on being approachable and proactive, ensuring we are always available to assist our clients when they need us most.

Strategic Support Throughout the Property Cycle
We believe that capital allowances should be a consideration at every stage of property ownership, not just an afterthought. We work alongside you and your existing advisors to protect your position during:
- Acquisitions: Carrying out due diligence and ensuring 'Pooling Wording' is correctly included in contracts.
- Developments & Fit-outs: Providing early pre-tender advice to extract maximum qualifying expenditure.
- Disposals: Managing s198 elections to ensure tax benefits are retained or transferred effectively.
- HMRC Negotiations: Using our deep knowledge of case law to mitigate enquiries and defend claims.
Proven Results Across All Sectors
Our portfolio spans everything from high-spec London offices to rural renewable energy projects. Notable successes include:
- Industrial: Identified £42m in plant and machinery allowances for a £135m logistics development.
- Leisure: Achieved a 93% recovery rate on a high-specification restaurant fit-out.
- Renewables: Delivered rapid-turnaround reports for 50MW solar farms and Battery Energy Storage Schemes (BESS).
- Offices: Unlocked an additional £30m in allowances on a £200m acquisition by identifying unusual qualifying expenditure.
"Our client-focused approach, rather than a fee-driven one, means we build long-standing relationships based on trust, reliability, and confidentiality."
