Top 10 of 1,320 law firms for Option to Tax, Land Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

An option to tax is the process by which a land or property owner elects to tax the sale or rental of land for VAT, allowing VAT-registered buyers to reclaim input tax. A solicitor helps clients decide whether to exercise the option, drafts and submits the election to HM Revenue & Customs, and advises on the implications for sale, leases, and ongoing recharges. They also coordinate with surveyors and accountants to manage partial exemption and post-transfer VAT considerations.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor explains the election, its impact on VAT recoveries, and the consequences of withdrawal or expiry, including how it interacts with partial exemption rules and ongoing leases. They handle the drafting and filing of documents, ensure compliance with HMRC guidance, and liaise with the client’s commercial advisers to align VAT treatments with business plans.

Debra Williamson

Tagged solicitor Debra Williamson

I had a really positive experience with Debra and Holly and would highly recommend them. Debra was extremely professional, reassuring and approachable from the very beginning. As soon as I visited the office, I felt comfortable, safe and confident that everything was being handled properly. She was always helpful and understanding, and took the time to explain everything clearly so I always knew what was happening and what the next steps were. The fees were very reasonable compared with other firms I had looked into, and everything was completely transparent with no hidden charges or unexpected costs. I’m extremely happy with the service I received and very grateful for all of Debra's help and support. Holly’s the sweetest assistant. Thank you both for making the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy and caring solicitor.

I highly recommend this solicitors, I had a dispute with my neighbour and Rob Boon overturned a wrongly given adverse possession therefore preventing development of the land. Throughout the process I received excellent communication, he was extremely professional and provided me with advice and support throughout.

We engaged Slee Blackwell to act for us in the sale of our house. We required an easement to be drawn up and a plan correction at the Land Registry before the usual legal formalities could take place. The conveyancing team were sympathetic to our anxious state, explained the process clearly and kept us informed at every stage. They patiently dealt with the forensic enquiries of (in my opinion) a very trying buyer and kept smiling through a tense and anxious engagement with The Land Registry.

We came across Sweeney Miller has a highly rated local solicitors to help us in purchasing a house in Sunderland for my mother-in-law to stay in. My wife and I live in Bermuda, and we approached a few solicitors to help us with the purchase. Sweeney Miller gave us a swift quote with accurate calculations of SDLT, which was ultimately the reason to proceed with them as others were either not quick enough or miscalculated the tax. Once on-boarded their solicitor portal was extremely helpful and transparent to know exactly where we were at each stage. Additionally, our contact throughout the whole process, Farzana Begum, was professional, prompt, clear, and receptive to any questions. They were extremely thorough with due diligence, searches and advised on any potential hurdles to the process. She was immensely accommodating of the time difference, which hindered usual communication times and overall, we could not be happier with the services rendered.
