Nick was clear and answered my question in a day. I am very grateful that they were able to amass expert knowledge and share it. Such kindness helps the world go round. I will be sure to pass on my own skills to help others and make the donation to charity. Thank you so much!
Nick was incredibly helpful in explaining a complex SDLT issue. 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’s professional knowledge is truly commendable; complex SDLT issue was explained in such a simple language with precise reasons . It’s been an absolute pleasure knowing Nick. Highly recommend Nick.
I had an excellent experience with Nick. He took the time to give me a very detailed explanation, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and provided clear guidance that was easy to understand.

I’m extremely grateful to Nick for their prompt and expert assistance in resolving my SDLT issue. They responded quickly, clearly understood the situation, and provided practical, accurate guidance that led to a smooth resolution.
Their professionalism, knowledge of the process, and ability to act efficiently made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely manageable. It’s rare to find someone so responsive and effective — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone dealing with property-related matters.

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.

Nick called me within an hour of my contacting him. He was very thorough with understating what is a complex area of SDLT and researched the legislation in question. Very approachable. Thank you we really appreciate your help.
Nick is the best tax consultant I’ve interacted with—he responded within minutes with a clear and concise answer. He’s approachable, easy to understand, and incredibly helpful. Thank you, Nick!
Excellent service. Speedy responses to my questions from an extremely knowledgeable bloke. Would certainly recommend utilising his services.
Nick was very helpful on my query regarding Stamp Duty rates. He was prompt with his reply and his knowledge was excellent. I now feel less confused in this minefield of taxes. Thanks Nick
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.

I asked Nick a question on stamp duty and his response was very professional setting out the condition applicable to this particular case.
I have recently reached out to Land Tax Advice for free of cost advice to my query related to LBTT and Additional Dwelling Supplement in Scotland.
Nick thoroughly went through my case in detail, provided with a clear answer and also attached the legislation supporting the answer he provided.
I would definitely recommend their service. Thanks.

Nick quickly provided exactly the sort of impartial insight that I needed and was struggling to find. It was a great help and very much appreciated.
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.

Amazing advice. Anyone with any SDLT queries Nick should be your goto advisor. Many thanks Nick.
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 was fantastic gave me some wonderful advice would definitely recommend. Thanks Nick
Needed some advice on two SDLT matters and Nick was so helpful and knowledgeable. I’d highly recommend his services, he’s a pleasure to deal with and clearly knows his stuff!
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.
