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.

Very happy with their performance overall - very pragmatic and practical approach, and coped really well when it became apparent (at the lat minute, virtually - with 7 days to go) that the timescale of the sale needed to be compressed for tax purposes.
