Law firms ranked by client reviews

First-time buyer relief covers the SDLT relief available when purchasing a home in England. A solicitor assesses eligibility, complete incl. SDLT returns, and coordinates with HMRC to claim the relief. They gather and verify documents, advise on thresholds, and manage the transfer of funds and registration of title with HM Land Registry. The relief shapes the overall cost of buying for qualifying first-time buyers and can influence offer and funding decisions.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor handles the thresholds, calculates relief, prepares and submits the SDLT return, and liaises with HMRC and the seller’s side. They confirm eligibility, gather evidence, and ensure the title is properly transferred and registered, all within the timeline of the purchase.

Hannah was brilliant in helping me with the purchase of my first (shared ownership) home. She was always available and happy to answer any questions I had. I will definitely be returning when I decide to purchase more shares.

Nicola Cawthorne

Tagged solicitor Nicola Cawthorne

We have dealt with Barker Gotelee on the sale of two properties to date plus the purchase of another two properties. We cannot speak highly enough of Nicola and Bridget, they are efficient, communicate in a timely manner and are always approachable. We felt that Nicola had our best interests at heart throughout the process and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Joseph Roland Jones

Tagged solicitor Joseph Roland Jones

Roland Jones handled both the sale of my previous property and the purchase of a new one. I've worked with Roland before on a lease extension and he was a model of sensible, sane advice – here too. Despite several challenges (a disappearing buyer, a tight mortgage deadline …) he kept everything on the road and was a reassuring presence in a sometimes stressful process, as well as very responsive and easy to get hold of. If only all solicitors were like this – a real credit to the firm, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and BAMc.
