SDLT advice for landlords, investors and developers

Buying a property, acquiring through a company or reviewing an SDLT payment? Edge helps you understand the tax questions that need resolving before you commit. We advise on residential, commercial and mixed-use transactions in England and Northern Ireland, including purchases, lease transactions and HMRC enquiries.

Start with the decision you need to make

Tell us about your transaction

In your first enquiry, tell us the property location, purchase price, proposed buyer and expected exchange or completion date. If HMRC has written to you, include the response deadline. We can then discuss the appropriate scope of advice and the information needed for a review.

For a transaction with wider tax questions, explore our property VAT advice and ongoing landlord accountancy.

Need a transaction-specific answer? Request an SDLT callback or call 024 7745 5333. General website information is not a substitute for advice on your documents and circumstances.

Implementing SDLT Reliefs

We assess which reliefs, if any, apply to your transaction and what evidence is needed. Multiple Dwellings Relief was abolished for most transactions from 1 June 2024, subject to transitional rules. A review must consider the transaction date and the relevant conditions, not assume a relief is available.

Providing SDLT Advice for Additional Properties

Buying an additional property can bring higher SDLT rates into play. We review your existing ownership, the proposed purchase and the relevant dates to establish the treatment and whether any exception or refund conditions may apply.

Providing Guidance for Developers and Land Owners

Avoid unexpected SDLT obligations with advice from our expert team.

Advising Partnerships and Companies

Company acquisitions and property transfers involving partnerships need a transaction-specific review. We assess the applicable rates, potential reliefs and supporting evidence, and advise where a restructuring or HMRC enquiry creates uncertainty.

Offering a Consistent and Reliable Service

As tax specialists, we know property and all the coinciding tax rules inside out. We’re dedicated to providing a consistent and reliable service enhanced by transparent communication, integrity and trust.

frequently asked questions

  • SDLT must be filed and paid within 14 days of completion. Late filing attracts automatic penalties and interest. If you are buying and your solicitor is handling the return, make sure the SDLT position has been reviewed before exchange -- not just calculated at completion.
