How It Works

Obtaining your stamp duty refund is an uncomplicated process with our streamlined approach. Begin the process by following these straightforward steps:

Determine your eligibility for a stamp duty refund based on specific criteria, such as the property not being classified as 'residential' for SDLT purposes. According to HMRC's SDMT00385, a dwelling that is no longer habitable would not be considered residential. Our experienced team can guide you through the eligibility requirements and the process.

Gather all necessary paperwork associated with your property deal. This should encompass contracts of sale, receipts of payment, and other pertinent documents as stipulated by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Leverage our expert team to file your claim, accompanied by the required paperwork. Our skilled professionals are committed to simplifying the process for you, ensuring it's both efficient and straightforward. They will meticulously check your claim for both precision and thoroughness.

Utilising our comprehensive understanding and proficiency, we aim to optimise your stamp duty refund. Our team rigorously assesses your claim, pursuing every potential route to achieve the maximum refund on your behalf.

After we've filed your claim, our team maintains direct communication with HMRC for you. We manage all correspondence, including responses to any questions or the submission of further details, guaranteeing a seamless and expedient processing of your claim.
