HMA Tax is a leading UK provider of capital allowances advisory services, helping commercial property owners generate income/corporation tax refunds and relief. They have leveraged proprietary software, over 2 million data points and decades of experience to help commercial property owners claim over £500m in tax relief across 7,500 cases, with a 100% success rate. 

Following their acquisition by K3 Capital Group, HMA Tax has enhanced its ability to deliver exceptional client results while maintaining operational independence. Partnering with Searchland has revolutionised their approach to identifying tax-saving opportunities and ensuring favourable financial outcomes for their clients. We spoke with Associate Director Andy Milnes to see how HMA Tax has used Searchland to benefit their business.

Challenges HMA Tax faced before Searchland: 

  • Lengthy process to find targeted leads
  • Limited access to clients' full property portfolios
  • Time-consuming process to gather property-specific data
  • Inability to quickly assess potential capital allowance claims across multiple properties


Searchland has enabled HMA Tax to identify highly targeted leads by accessing comprehensive property data nationwide and uncovering neighbouring opportunities.

“Searchland lets us identify targeted leads for our services in just a few minutes.”

The platform also provides all necessary property data, constraints, and ownership information for every UK property, ensuring HMA Tax is fully prepared before contacting potential leads. This data is also invaluable when advising current clients, allowing HMA Tax to offer tailored services based on the most current property data. "Searchland alerts us to properties that even clients themselves were unaware of, meaning we have the data needed to convert new leads into clients," Andy added. 

Interestingly, Searchland data has revealed unknown opportunities, with 40% of their clients lacking full knowledge of their property portfolio, and missing key properties that could benefit from HMA Tax's services. The result? Better quotes and significant savings for clients.

"We can instantly access a comprehensive view of a client’s entire property portfolio. This speeds up initial assessments and ensures we don't miss out on potential claims"

Andy’s favourite tool? Our Planning Tool. This feature allows HMA Tax to access planning permission details in seconds. "We use the Planning Tool to assess on-site development where we can claim capital allowance for our clients," Andy tells us.

On integration, merging Searchland into HMA Tax’s existing systems was no problem: "The transition was seamless. Searchland integrated perfectly with our existing systems and processes," Andy said. 

Looking ahead

As HMA Tax starts to expand their team and scale operations, Searchland remains an integral part of their growth strategy. We’re thrilled to see their success and are committed to supporting their journey with our innovative platform.
