SDLT

Minimise SDLT liabilities on residential purchases through reliefs like first-time buyer, replacement of main residence or mixed-use claims. We ensure accurate calculations and filing compliance. We can advise non-resident buyers on their UK SDLT obligations, including the unique residency rules.

Optimise SDLT on commercial property, leveraging reliefs for acquisitions, leases, and refurbishments. We navigate complex rules for REITs, partnerships, and alternative financing structures.

Structure intra-group transfers, reorganisations, and purchases to reduce or defer SDLT, using reconstruction reliefs, sub-sale rules, and VAT-efficient strategies.

Proactive planning to lower SDLT exposure, including disaggregation analysis, option arrangements, and charitable/educational reliefs. We ensure robust anti-avoidance compliance.

Advise on UK SDLT obligations for overseas buyers, dual-use properties, and international structures, addressing treaty interactions and non-resident surcharges.
