  • While our core business is helping you claim back SDLT we can advise you what steps to take pre-completion to ensure you pay as little SDLT as possible.

  • Yes, totally. We are not here to help anybody evade or avoid tax, our service is simply here to help obtain refunds for those who have paid SDLT when they shouldn’t or when they’ve paid more than they should. We are AML registered with HMRC.

  • You may have been advised incorrectly, SDLT calculations are complicated and there are numerous factors to take into account when calculating the level of SDLT payable.

    Unless your solicitor gave you specific advice with regard to SDLT on your purchase or advised you to take specialist advice, it is likely you have paid more in SDLT than you needed to.

  • Quite possibly not. Most solicitors will be familiar with some aspects of SDLT but they are unlikely to be experts on every facet.

  • Initially just the basics, what you purchased, when you completed, how much you paid etc.  Either give us a call or send us an email and we can take it from there.

  • We act for property companies and investors and our clients also include solicitors, accountants and auctioneers.

  • In most cases, you have 4 years but in certain circumstances, you only have 12 months.  If you think you have made a purchase that could qualify it is imperative to enquire ASAP.

  • We will review your information and give you our opinion within 24 hours.  When we submit a refund application we advise clients to allow up to 3 months for HMRC to process it but we often see applications processed in under a month.

  • It's not uncommon for applications to be refunded in less than a month and our record is 8 days from mailing the application to HMRC to paying the refund out to our client.

  • We take nothing upfront or on account. We deduct our success fee, 30% of the sum refunded, and transfer you the balance.   We transfer you your net refund the same day we receive the monies from HMRC.
