Can You Lower Your Stamp Duty at Purchase?

If your residential 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), or a house with land, 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 reduced SDLT liability upon completion!

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.
