At Larking Gowen, we’re dedicated to making transfers of property as smooth as possible. With Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) often seen as a daunting obstacle, we’re here to take that stress away and ensure you stay compliant.
Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, expanding your investment portfolio, or diving into property development, our team is ready to provide the support and expertise you need.
We can advise on surcharges such as the Higher Rates for Additional Dwellings (HRAD) or the Non-Resident surcharge. Our team can also provide advice on any reliefs and exemptions that may be applicable such as Multiple Dwellings Relief (MDR) which ceased for most property purchases on 1 June 2024 and reclaiming HRAD where eligible.
Through careful planning and strategic structuring, we can also help minimise your SDLT liability while ensuring compliance with all legal requirements. We can help you explore corporate reconstructions and group relief to help you achieve tax savings.
We will liaise with your solicitor to ensure SDLT returns are completed on-time.
