Get expert SDLT guidance - avoid costly mistakes and overpayments
Buying a property? Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is one of the biggest upfront costs - but it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong. Miscalculations or missed reliefs can cost buyers thousands.
At SCA Tax, we provide expert Stamp Duty Advice before completion, helping you ensure your SDLT is calculated correctly before contracts are exchanged. That means greater confidence, potential savings, and no post-completion surprises.
Why Pre-Completion Stamp Duty Advice Matters
Too many buyers only discover they've overpaid stamp duty after completion. By then, correcting the issue can be time-consuming, and not always successful.
Our pre-completion SDLT review gives you clarity at the right time. We assess your transaction in full to see whether it qualifies for SDLT reliefs, reclassification (e.g. mixed-use), or any other treatment that may reduce your liability.
- Purchases that may qualify as mixed-use
- High-value or non-standard property transactions
- Buyers unsure how SDLT applies to their deal
- Properties being bought through a company or business
What You Can Expect from Our SDLT Advice
