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.

Alastair Harvey

Tagged solicitor Alastair Harvey

As always Alastair was professional and efficient. It was a complicated sale but without Alastair I am sure it would have taken much longer to "get it over the line"!

Lisa Blair

Tagged solicitor Lisa Blair

I needed to sell a rental property that had a long standing tenant living in it. Clarkes were recommended by my managing agent, and they were excellent and prompt from the outset. Starting with an introduction and explanation of the procedure we should take and a full cost breakdown. The entire process went very smoothly.

Victoria Hands

Tagged solicitor Victoria Hands

Selling or buying property is always said to be life’s most stressful experience besides being a Tottenham fan but this was completely the opposite! The whole experience from start to finish was flawless and went like clockwork and we couldn’t recommend the company and in particular Victoria Hand who dealt with us personally. The next time we are buying or selling we will go straight to Victoria-fabulous!

Lewis Chapman

Tagged solicitor Lewis Chapman

I found Lewis Chapman to be extremely professional, communicative, responsive, easy to understand and highly efficient. He took complete ownership of my case from beginning to the end, giving me expert advice all along the way and none of my queries were ever a big ask for him. He understood and articulated all the issues exceptionally well, and he dealt with my claim with such ease, bringing it to a swift and amicable conclusion, gaining respect from all parties concerned along the way. I highly recommend Lewis Chapman as I have had a very positive experience with Hopkins Solicitors because of him.
