What HMRC Stamp Duty Land Tax
Rebate Can You Claim?

If your property meets one of the following conditions:

  1. Mixed Use: If your property includes both residential and non-residential elements (e.g., a shop with residential units above or an apartment with a gym or health facility in the building), the entire transaction can be assessed as non-residential for stamp duty purposes.
  2. Uninhabitable: If your property is deemed not suitable for use as a single dwelling if it possesses fundamental defects that render it uninhabitable and these defects cannot be remedied through repair or renovation without extensive reconstruction or demolition.

You may qualify for a stamp duty refund!

How the calculator works: It compares residential and non-residential stamp duty rates.

Stamp Duty Rebate Calculator

Our stamp duty calculator is designed to help you determine if you can claim overpaid stamp duty based on the property’s condition at the time of purchase.

Who Can Claim?

You may be eligible to claim a stamp duty rebate if:

  • Your property was not habitable due to condition hazards at the time of purchase.
  • You bought the property within the last four years.
  • The property is located in England or Northern Ireland.

If these conditions apply, you should likely have paid non-residential rates of stamp duty.

How It Works

Our calculator uses a specialised algorithm to:

  • Consider your specific situation.
  • Provide advice on whether pursuing a stamp duty claim is worthwhile.

Important Notes

  • Eligibility Criteria: Ensure your property meets the specific eligibility criteria as detailed in our eligibility tool.
  • Lease Agreements: Our calculator doesn’t account for lease agreements on properties. For these cases, use the government HMRC Stamp Duty calculator.

Disclaimer

While our tool can give you a general idea of what you might expect to reclaim, do not rely on it for actual stamp duty returns. For official calculations, use the government stamp duty calculator.

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.

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.
