Stamp duty rebates. Start here.

Process.

Case timeline.

Do you qualify?

Nicholas Garner.

  1. Overpaid stamp duty rebates are only viable for:
    • property investors buying residential property
    • homeowners with properties worth more than £1 million
  2. Rebates are based on property condition at time of purchase or other reason.
  3. You must have purchased your property within the last 4 years.

Our terms:

  • No win, no fee
  • HMRC pay you, you pay us
  • If HMRC claw back, we repay our fees to you
  • Fees 30%+VAT of sum reclaimed.

Other points:

  • If a claim case is procedurally correct, there is a near 100% probability of the case being paid.

While the claim process has several steps, this process is time efficient and straightforward.

Case evidence

If everything is in order, we need case evidence to support your claim:

  • Pictures and videos that show the problems with the property.
  • The address of the property.
  • When you purchased it

Take a look at our case studies pages (Link opens a new tab) where you can see examples of the types of photos and videos we need. We won’t send videos to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), but we may be able to get still images from the video.

If you have home surveys, contractor invoices and receipts or any other information which reinforces your case, please send to us.

You can:

  • upload documents to our secure client portal or
  • email the documents to us at [email protected]
  • or use a service like wetransfer.com

Documents, HMRC authorisation and invoice estimate

In order to communicate with HMRC we need your authorisation and other information to make sure refunds are paid directly to you. See explanation on how to sigh the authorisation document. (Link opens a new tab)

We also need bank details and other information. See the client PDF questionnaire for all details required. (Link opens a new tab)

We will also send you an exact estimate for our reclaim fees for you to approve. Remember, we work on a no win no fee basis. You pay us when you are paid by HMRC.

Preparing your case

After gathering all the required information, we compile the case file and submit it to HMRC for evaluation.

A case file is usually between 120 pages and 180 pages long. Example here. (Link opens new tab)

You will be notified once we send the case file to HMRC.

HMRC typically take between 4 and 9 weeks to process a case.

Receiving payment from HMRC

HMRC will directly transfer rebate payments to you. Subsequently, we’ll invoice you for our services. It will be based on the estimate we shared with you earlier.

Case settled

If all goes well, you might ask us to reclaim on other properties you own, recommend us to your friends and perhaps give us a Google review here. (Link opens a new tab)
