What's the position on allowances for furniture?

Question:

Can we still claim 10% of the rental income for fully furnished apartment for rent in London? 

Arthur Weller replies:  

See HMRC’s Property Income manual ; the last year for claiming the 10% wear and tear allowance was 2015/16. See HMRC’s guidance at PIM3210, which points out that from 2016/17 onwards a 'replacement of domestic items relief' applies instead.
