Get Specialist SDLT & Land Tax Advice.

Conveyancers are often cautious with complex tax rules.
If your transaction falls outside the ordinary—such as mixed-use, linked transactions, or uninhabitable dwellings—don’t guess.
Get specialist protection before you file.


1. Start Here: Free Email Consultation

Unsure exactly how much land tax you should pay?

Email your details to [email protected]
for a free initial assessment. I will review your circumstances and recommend which level of protection you need.

2. The Goal: Professionally Indemnified Advice

We offer two levels of fixed-fee protection depending on your conveyancer’s requirements:


  • Option A: Expert Support (Advice Only).
    If your solicitor is simply unclear about the rules but willing to file, I provide professionally indemnified advice. They can rely on this document to submit your return with confidence.

  • Option B: Independent Submission.
    If you prefer to handle the tax independently of your conveyancer, we offer a “Belt-and-Braces” solution. You receive my advice, plus Compass SDLT acts as your official Tax Agent to submit the return to HMRC for you.

Already Paid Land Tax?
Reclaim Cases: No Win, No Fee.

I manage the claim from start to finish. The refund is paid directly to you by HMRC, the Welsh Revenue Authority, or Revenue Scotland.
You only settle my fee once the funds are safely in your account.


1. Contact Me

Start the conversation.
Simply email or call me about your claim. We will discuss your circumstances to see if a refund is possible.

2. Claim Evidence

Show us your proofs.
Send us pictures, videos, or documents. We assess everything for free and give you an honest opinion on the strength of your case.

3. We Prepare

Strictly ‘No Win, No Fee’.
If you are happy to proceed, we prepare the technical file and legal arguments. We take on the risk—if we don’t win, you don’t pay.

4. Send to HMRC

Refund First, Fee Later.
We submit the claim. Refunds typically arrive in 6 to 9 weeks. You only pay our fees if and when your reclaim is successful.

“We have secured successful payouts on nearly 500 reclaim cases. Our consultants, condition assessors, and administrators diligently work to make sure your case is meticulously prepared and robust.”

We have had some questions about how the stamp duty (SDLT) is calculated. We sent an email to Mr Garner for his advice. He quickly responded with a detailed analysis of our situation and a clear guidance. Thanks very much!

He broke everything down clearly, walked me through the calculations and options, and made the whole situation much easier to understand. Even though the outcome wasn't quite what I hoped for, his advice has given me clarity on my next steps.
Professional, knowledgeable and considerate - highly recommended!

Nick helped us with a very detailed answer in support of our son Ollie's (first time buyer) 'equity share' house purchase, for which his solicitor had mis-calculated a higher rate of SDLT (on the market value rather than the purchase price). We were desperate for a detailed enough proof of calculation to satisfy the legal team and Nick's help has saved us. Our son could not have afforded the higher rate they had miscalculated. His work is invaluable as are the causes he supports

Nick was a massive help with Stamp Duty issues surrounding stair casing on my flat. My solicitor was certain the remaining percentage purchase of my flat resulted in me paying Stamp Duty of a few thousand pounds.

Nicks professional knowledge and expertise outlined clauses of stamp duty where I was not required to pay stamp duty for stair-casing and based upon remaining percentage being purchased.

This evidence was used to relay back to my solicitor who acknowledged there would be no further action required to pay stamp duty.

This saved me a few thousand pounds.

Nick is highly professional, reliable, takes interest into each clients needs. Would highly recommend and will use in the future.

I'm absolutely delighted to have found this website and to have been able to speak with Nick !!
I have been trying to make sense of the legislation for some weeks now and Nick unravelled the knots that i've mentally made of our complicated situation.
He patiently listened whilst I described the multiple aspects and then explained the related schedule to each element in such an easily understandable way, happily clarifying any aspect that I was unsure of.
Nick then invited me to e mail him so that he could explain in writing and refer to the relevant legislation schedule.
I recieved his reply so quickly and the information was presented stage by stage with such clarity that I now feel completely confident that I know which tax is due (and which isn't !!)
I can't thank or recommend Nick enough for his remarkable service.
It's a huge weight lifted !! and i'm ever so grateful.

My solicitor was unable to provide advice with certainty about a specific transaction involving LBTT, a yes or no question.
I struggled to find the answer myself from reading the legislation and tax advisors quoted 100s of pounds in order to research and tell me if the correct answer was yes or no.
Nick responded quickly, same day and provided the answer with a detailed explanation. Exactly what I needed to comply with the legislation. Thank you so much for your help.

Nick is very knowledgeable regarding this field. Not only is he knowledgeable he make it very easy to understand the minefield of stamp duty. Nick has just saved me over £7,000 in stamp duty as its not payable on my planned move. It's easy for a solicitor to say you owe X amount in stamp duty its not their hard earned money being paid out unnecessary. I will never be able to thank Nick enough. My advice is if you think your solicitor has got it wrong seek out Nick. Once again Nick thank-you so much.

Take Julie

I was stressed out today believing we needed to pay stamp duty on a transfer of a house when previously I didn’t think we did. I called up and asked for advice, explained my situation and that I did not understand. It was explained really clearly to me, which was so helpful. I had already tried to get advice from my accountant who did not know the answer. In fact no one seemed to know the answer until I made this phone call so I am relieved I did.

Nick is an expert in his field, knowledgeable, offering clear and concise understanding around your SDLT issue and found a prompt, informed roadmap to my individual issue. 100% speak to Nick before anyone else.
My wife and I newly moved to the UK and encountered a problem over the eligibility of first time buyer. I contacted Nick over the phone for enquiry. Although I made the enquiry without any payment to Nick, he seriously took my case and eventually gave me very useful information, which greatly helped us to make decisions for the declaration of Stamp Duty. Throughout our communication, we definitely saw and felt Nick's passion and expertise in land tax field and professional comprehension of the law as well as very high efficiency. Seeing the information and explanation of the law given by Nick, we were certain that our simple question did cost Nick quite a bit time and efforts, yet he was all the time very polite. Seeing his true willingness and passion to help, patience, efficiency and expertise in land tax and the law, we truly admire this sage gentleman. Thank you very much Nick for helping us.
