Rental property and allowable costs against tax

[Sarenco]

I would argue that the bathroom works were repairs. Lot of mould so ceilings needed replacement. Tiles cracked. Grout falling out. Cracked toilets and bath. Defective shower door. Extraction fans not working

Ah, replacing damaged or broken items on a like-for-like basis are certainly repairs. But you didn't give us that level of detail previously.

Bear in mind that ultimately it's your relative's tax return. The accountant is only an agent and you should only expect a fairly basic level of service for €600pa.

Ok he has two rental properties. From speaking to him most years there are only a few figures going in; Rental income, management co charges, mortgage interest, Gas boiler service and insurance. Not much else for the last ten years or so, bar a very odd miscellaneous item or respair. I thought 600 would cover the sums involved fairly adequately. But I stand to be corrected.
