What happens in a Capital Allowance survey?

Bryan Hyde, Head of Surveying at STax, recently carried out a survey at a leisure club.

 

From the gym floor to the outdoor facilities, every fixture and fitting was carefully assessed to identify assets that could qualify for valuable tax relief.

 

A Capital Allowance survey is more than just ticking boxes – it’s about understanding the property in depth. Bryan methodically records, photographs, and documents items such as:

 

• Specialist lighting and electrical systems
• Plumbing, heating, and air conditioning
• Built-in fixtures and equipment unique to the leisure industry

 

By capturing this level of detail, we ensure our clients can claim their full entitlement – often uncovering allowances they never knew existed.

 

Do you own a commercial property? Speak to the Capital Allowance Experts, and we can help you unlock your property's potential through a Capital Allowance claim.

AI assistants like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and meeting transcription tools have quickly become part of everyday business workflows. They help teams write reports faster, summarise meetings, draft emails, and even debug code. While this has led to a surge in productivity, it has also introduced new security and compliance risks. Many employees are using these tools without oversight. Nick in Operations might use AI to improve his reports, and Zoe in Finance might save hours each week. But in doing so, they may be unknowingly sharing sensitive data with platforms that were not designed for secure enterprise use.
