Accounting Built for Housing Developers
Housing developers face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle. New build VAT zero-rating, Section 106 obligations, CIL charges, phased plot cost allocation and land bank valuation all demand advisors who know how residential developments are funded, built and sold.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with small housebuilders, regional developers, volume builders and land-led development companies across England, delivering structured financial support for housing businesses and individual directors. Every VAT recovery, CIS return and tax submission is handled accurately.
Helping Housing Developers Recover VAT and Plan Costs
Housing developer owners need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares VAT recovery schedules, S106 cost modelling, per-plot margin reports, land valuation reviews and tax planning, giving developers clear visibility over build costs, planning obligations and project profitability.
Whether you build single plots, develop phased estates, deliver affordable housing or manage a land bank, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your operation, keeping the business and individual directors covered on VAT, CIS and tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions housing developer directors, housebuilders and residential development companies ask about specialist accounting.
How does new build VAT zero-rating work?
The first sale of a newly built dwelling is zero-rated. Developers charge no VAT but reclaim input VAT on construction costs. The property must be new build, not a conversion.
How are Section 106 costs accounted for?
S106 obligations including affordable housing and infrastructure contributions are development costs allocated across the scheme. They reduce project profitability and must be factored into viability assessments from planning stage.
What is the Community Infrastructure Levy?
CIL is a fixed charge per square metre on new development. It funds infrastructure and is payable alongside S106 obligations. Liability is triggered when planning permission is granted.
How is phased development accounted for?
Costs are allocated across plots within each phase. Revenue is recognised on legal completion of each unit. Work in progress carries accumulated build costs until plots are sold.
How is land bank stock valued?
Land held for future development is carried at cost on the balance sheet. If market conditions decline, an impairment review may reduce the recorded value to net realisable value.
Can ABM support housing developers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves housing developers across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to small housebuilders, regional developers and volume builders.
