Heswall
Doing business in Heswall
Heswall sits on the Wirral side of the Dee Estuary, looking across to the hills of North Wales, and around 29,000 people live in the wider built-up area (2021 census). Telegraph Road is the busy centre of the town, while Lower Heswall, the original village, has been a conservation area since 1979.
In a town like Heswall, the accounts we're asked about are often for a limited company or consultancy run from home, a rental property or two, or a personal Self Assessment tax return for pension, savings or rental income. We prepare all of those, along with accounts for the shops, cafés and practices along Telegraph Road.
On the doorstep are Heswall Dales, a heathland nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the Wirral Way, the footpath along the old railway line between West Kirby and Hooton. Heswall station, on the Borderlands line between Bidston and Wrexham, sits at the top of the town.
