Claims. Do you qualify?

Nicholas Garner.

  1. Overpaid land tax claims (SDLT | LTT | LBTT)  are economically viable for:
    • property investors buying residential property
    • homeowners with properties worth more than £1 million
  2. Rebates are based on mixed-use, uninhabitable property or other reason. See list of SDLT reliefs.
  3. You must have purchased your property within the last 4 years for SDLT & LTT, 5 years for LBTT.

Our terms:

  • Claims: No win, no fee
  • If HMRC, WRA, Revenue Scotland claw back, we repay our fees to you
  • Fees 25%+VAT of sum reclaimed.

Other points:

  • If a claim case is procedurally correct, there is a very high probability of the case being paid.

Documents, HMRC authorisation and invoice estimate

In order to communicate with HMRC we need your authorisation and other information to make sure refunds are paid directly to you.

We also need bank details and other information.

We will also send you an exact estimate for our reclaim fees for you to approve.

Preparing your case

After gathering all the required information, we compile the case file and submit it to HMRC for evaluation.

A case file is usually between 60 pages and 120 pages long.

You will be notified once we send the case file to HMRC.

HMRC typically take between 4 and 9 weeks to process a case.

Receiving payment from HMRC

We will instruct HMRC to make payments directly to us. Once received, we will forward the payment to you, minus our agreed fees.

Case settled

If all goes well, you might ask us to reclaim on other properties you own, recommend us to your friends and perhaps give us a Google review here. (Link opens a new tab)
