How much can I expect to get back should my claim be valid and approved?
Every case is different. Here are some of the cases that we’ve successfully claimed refunds for:
"Excellent advice from the team and I was kept informed at each stage.
Unaware that the lack of heating and mains gas supply to my buy to let had an impact on the Stamp Duty"
Mrs R Smith - Coventry
"As an experienced property developer I assumed everything had been calculated correctly - apparently not!
Advised on the refund amount due to inhabitable domestic property on purchase and dealt with swiftly"
James - London
"Spoke with Janet and she guided me through the process. I did not have the original surveyors report and assumed I could not claim.
We were able to use the repair invoices and photos to prove the state of disrepair"
Miss Klakson - Birmingham
"Fast and efficient service.
Knowledgeable staff.
Rebate took just over 6 weeks from me sending in my evidence to the legal team"
Mr Robertson - London
"Having been through a divorce and buying a second property I paid a premium on my Stamp Duty.
This was successfully claimed back once my old marital home was sold.
Great staff with patience to explain the process!"
