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.

I have worked with Lindsey and the team on several occasions, both for conveyancing advice and in relation to preparing a last will & testament. Hugely impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness of the team. I always felt that I was in excellent hands and that Lindsey acted in my best interests. Moving home and considering future assets can be stressful but the team really took all the anxiety out of the process and ensured I was always clear about the process. Skilled, knowledgeable and highly recommended team. Thank you!

This is the second time I have used Greenwoods. I first used them back in 2020 when I purchased my first house and they were amazing then. I have just used them for a sale and purchase transaction and they have been faultless. They are good at communicating and they happily answer any questions you have. Any jargon that needs clarifying, just ask and they will happily explain what things means. I would definitely use Greenwoods again.
