HMRC Claims

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a huge part of the property buying process and one of the biggest expenditures homeowners will have. Some buyers may have overpaid or qualify for an exemption, which means they may be eligible for a stamp duty refund.

These situations can come about by your conveyancing solicitor not calculating your SDLT at time of purchase correctly, whether that is not applying the correct rates, miscalculating the leasehold or not taking into account mixed use or other criteria as noted below.

We check all these for you, and let you know if you have overpaid.

Who can apply?

You could be eligible for a refund if you paid SDLT on any of the following within the last 4 years:

Mixed Use:

Any purchase that included mixed use properties in one transaction such as a residential dwelling and commercial property.

Uninhabitable:

This would include major structural repairs. Evidence will be required.

New Rates and Reliefs:

We check you were given the correct rates due at the time of purchase, from 23 September 2022 onwards rates changed and you may have been miscalculated.

Charged a surcharge but subsequently sold your first/original property within 3 years

First Time Buyers purchasing a property worth £425,000 or less will pay no SDLT from September 2022 until March 2025

Covid Relief

Reduced SDLT rates were applied for purchases from 8 July 2020 until June 2021, and from 1 July 2021 to 30 September 2021 inclusive (4 year limit still applies from date of purchase)

Probate

Any Property Trading Company purchasing through probate may be entitled to relief from SDLT charges

Leasehold

These are complicated calculations, and we can check if the correct amount was charged

FAQs

The timeframe for your claim's completion is contingent upon the nature of the claim you entrust us with. If your claim relates to a tax rebate, the duration hinges on HMRC's processing speed, typically ranging between 2 to 9 months.
