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.

Jimmy WensleyJoe Matthews

Tagged solicitors Jimmy Wensley and Joe Matthews

We cannot recommend our solicitors highly enough. Joe and Jimmy were absolutely exceptional throughout both the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. From start to finish, they were incredibly efficient, professional, proactive and always completely in control of the process. We received regular updates and were kept fully informed at every stage, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. They were friendly, approachable and so easy to deal with. Their proactive communication and attention to detail were outstanding, particularly in the lead-up to exchange and completion, on completion day itself, and even after completion. We always felt that everything was being handled efficiently and that we were in safe hands. There genuine care for us was so clear. They were, by far, the best solicitors we could have wished for. We honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. A truly exceptional service from an amazing team — 10/10 without hesitation! Joe and Jimmy were amazing, couldn’t have wished for any better.

I can't praise James Folly and Shamilah Malik enough! Excellent communication and efficiency throughout the process of selling my late mother's house. All concerns were dealt with promptly with emails answered usually the same day. I would without hesitation recommend James and Shamilah and will use them again should the occasion arise.
