For stamp duty reclaims, we act as an agent on your behalf when dealing with HMRC to represent your case for obtaining a stamp duty refund if appropriate.
For stamp duty case files, we offer expert advice and file evidence to correctly assess your property as non-residential before purchase.

If you make a stamp duty reclaim, HMRC usually has up to 9 months to challenge the decision. To be ready for any possible challenges, it’s recommended to keep the stamp duty savings at hand for 9 months.

Yes, you may be eligible for a refund if you overpaid stamp duty. However, to determine if you are eligible for a refund, you will need to assess the specific circumstances of your case, including the property price, type, and purchase method. To reclaim the overpaid stamp duty, you will need to submit a detailed report to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) explaining the reasons for the overpayment and any reliefs or exceptions that were missed.

To claim a stamp duty refund, you need to provide evidence to support your claim. This evidence may include:

• Proof of purchase, such as a copy of the purchase agreement or the title deed.
• Details of the property, including its address, size, and description.
• Information on the date of purchase, the purchase price, and the amount of stamp duty paid.
• Any relevant receipts, invoices, or other supporting documentation that demonstrate the reasons for the overpayment.
• A detailed report that explains why you believe the stamp duty was mis-assessed, and how you believe the amount overpaid should be refunded.
• It is important to keep accurate records and gather all relevant evidence before making a claim, as this will increase your chances of success.

The time it takes to receive a stamp duty refund varies and depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the workload of HMRC, and the availability of the required documentation and evidence. On average, it can take anywhere from 5 weeks to 3 months to process a stamp duty refund claim and receive the refund payment.

Risks with HMRC:

Making a claim with HMRC for a stamp duty refund is a low risk process. You will provide them with a truthful account and evidence that shows your property was not suitable for living in at the time of purchase. HMRC will then review the information and determine if they should give you a refund, just like they have done for thousands of others.

To claim a stamp duty refund, you need to check eligibility, gather relevant documents, submit a report to HMRC, and wait for their review. If approved, you will receive a refund via check or direct deposit.

Eligibility is determined by the habitability of the property at the time of purchase or if the tax was overpaid due to incorrect calculations or missed reliefs/exceptions. A condition assessment tool is available to determine eligibility.

Keep records and documentation for future enquiries. The time frame for the process varies, depending on case complexity and HMRC workload.

It is possible to get a refund for overpaid stamp duty if you used Multiple Dwellings Relief (MDR) during the property transaction. If there was an error in the calculation or if the conditions for MDR were not met, it may be possible to reclaim some of the overpaid tax.

However, the likelihood of success will depend on the specific circumstances of the case, including the evidence available to support the claim and the accuracy of the documentation and calculations.
