Legal Fees - Allowable or disallowable

If an individual incurs legal fees to defend the rights to beneficial ownership of a property. Can these be allowable deductions against rental income? I know that legal fees are allowable when they are incurred in defending the taxpayer's title to fixed assets in relation to a trade. I just wondered if this extends to a property disputes when defending your right to beneficial ownership?

Hi,

You can see guidance here:
