The easiest way to tell this is to visit their website. If the website is all about property - great. But if it is about business and farming, etc, etc, then they don't specialise in property and might be missing some tricks!

 

2)  Don't go for a one person firm.

A tiny firm often doesn't have all the resources they need. Plus if they die, are sick, go on holiday, how do you get your information? Back ups systems can be hopeless, and how does a single accountant review their own work? (Good firms generally have a double review process!).

 

3)  I personally don't like large firms either, as you often deal with the junior.

 

4)  A Chartered Accountant is generally better as they have compulsory training each year and many years of university and practical experience.

 

Good Luck with your choice.
