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.
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.

We had Sue as our contact. Very professional and good communication despite a challenging chain. Pity other solicitors in chain were not up to Sue’s standard.

Tagged solicitor Lauren Clay
After a negative experience with another local solicitors we didn't hold out much hope for anything better. Lauren and her team worked hard to get us to complete on time, taking constant phonecalls and emails from us. Pushing and rooting for us. Finally the experience we wanted from solicitors! Thank you
