If you’re a first-time buyer who purchased a property in England or Northern Ireland for £500,000 or less but didn’t claim the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) relief, you may be entitled to a refund. At Claim SDLT, we specialise in helping first-time buyers claim the money they’re owed, and our experienced solicitors can guide you through the process on a No Win, No Fee basis.
What is the First-Time Buyer SDLT Relief?
The First-Time Buyer SDLT Relief is a government scheme designed to help people get on the property ladder by reducing the amount of tax they pay when purchasing their first home. Under this relief, first-time buyers don’t pay any SDLT on properties valued at £300,000 or less. For properties between £300,001 and £500,000, they pay a reduced rate of 5% on the portion above £300,000.
Who is Eligible for the SDLT Relief?
To qualify for the First-Time Buyer SDLT Relief, you must meet the following criteria:
- You (and anyone you’re buying with) are purchasing your first property
- The property is valued at £500,000 or less
- You intend to use the property as your main residence
If you met these requirements when you bought your first home but didn’t claim the relief, you may have overpaid on your SDLT.
