Buy to let Scolicitor's fees

Hello team, could you please help with the following question: are solicitor’s ’ fees for purchasing a buy -to-let property a tax deductible expense? Thanks!

Hi iren,
 Acquisition costs such as solicitor’s fees will be retained and set against the Capital Gains upon the sale of the property as they are classed as a Capital Expense.
They can not be set against the annual income as an expense.

Thank you.
