You May Have Overpaid Stamp Duty – Check in 2 Minutes
Most solicitors file SDLT at residential rates by default, even when a property technically qualifies as mixed-use.
In practice, many properties containing land, outbuildings, stables, workshops, commercial elements, or non-residential use indicators should be taxed at mixed-use rates, meaning buyers often overpay without realising.
How it Works
1. Initial 2-Minute Call
We confirm the property details and give you an immediate indication of whether you may qualify and the refund range.
2. Provide Your Documents
If you appear eligible, we request the necessary documents and any relevant evidence to confirm the mixed-use position.
3. Full Technical Assessment
We review land, title, planning history, and commercial-use indicators, and prepare your claim for HMRC.
4. Submission & Refund
We submit your claim to HMRC. Refunds are paid directly to you. Our fee is success-based and only due once HMRC issues the refund.
Mixed-Use Eligibility
A property may qualify as mixed-use (lower SDLT rates) if it included any non-residential element at the time of purchase, such as:
1. Commercial Buildings
Shops, workshops, offices, storage buildings, barns, or stables used for business.
2. Land With Non-Residential Use
Grazing, agricultural land, paddocks, forestry, or land used by a business.
3. Business Rates
If any part of the property was listed for commercial business rates, it usually qualifies.
4. Mixed Units
A house combined with a commercial element (e.g., shop + flat, house + barn/workshop).
5. Non-Residential Planning Use
Land or buildings with agricultural, equestrian, retail, or industrial planning status.
