This area deals with SDLT issues arising when a purchaser is not ordinarily resident in the UK and buys land or property in England. A solicitor in this field advises on whether the non-resident rate or surcharge applies, calculates the correct liability, and handles the submission of the SDLT return to HM Revenue & Customs. They review exemptions, reliefs, and any linked conveyancing steps, including title checks, mortgages, and registration. The work often turns on residency status, whether the transaction includes multiple dwellings, and deadlines for filing and payment.
Non-resident SDLT matters hinge on residency status, timing, and the structure of the purchase. The solicitor assesses eligibility for any surcharges, calculates the adjusted SDLT liability, and prepares the return for HMRC, including supporting evidence of residency, chain information, and any exemptions. They coordinate with the seller’s side, lenders, and the Land Registry to complete the conveyance accurately and on time.
