how it works

How Our SDLT Advice Works

01. Understand the Transaction

We start by reviewing the property purchase, buyer details, property type, ownership position, transaction structure, and any factors that may affect SDLT.

02. Assess the SDLT Position

We consider the relevant SDLT rules, thresholds, reliefs, surcharges, and exemptions to determine what may be due.

03. Provide Clear Advice and Calculations

We complete the necessary formalities to obtain the Grant of Probate and, where required, help with collecting assets, settling liabilities, managing legacies, and handling estate tax matters.

04. Support Filing, Reclaims or HMRC Enquiries

Where needed, we assist with SDLT reclaims, HMRC enquiries, or professional support so the matter is handled clearly and efficiently.
