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.

Jordan Oakes

Tagged solicitor Jordan Oakes

We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Jordan Oakes and the team at SME Solicitors. As first-time buyers, the whole process felt quite daunting at the start, but Jordan made everything so much easier. Jordan was fantastic throughout the process – his communication was excellent, he was always quick to respond, and he took the time to explain everything clearly and guide us through each stage. He was always happy to answer our questions and provide advice whenever we needed it. Even though Jordan was on annual leave when we exchanged, the wider team at SME were incredibly helpful, friendly, and supportive, ensuring everything continued to progress smoothly. Thanks to Jordan’s hard work and the team’s efficiency, we completed our purchase in just 8 weeks, which was amazing. We always felt we were in safe hands and kept updated throughout. We would highly recommend Jordan and everyone at SME Solicitors to anyone looking for a professional, approachable, and reliable conveyancing team. Thank you for helping us buy our first home!

Having used WGA for two land purchases and two house sales in the last five years every time communication has been plain English and thoroughly explained. All calls and emails have been answered quickly, all costs have been transparent and matched what was quoted.

Claire Cooper

Tagged solicitor Claire Cooper

I had the privilege of using Blacks Solicitors in purchasing 4 properties. Blacks LLP was recommended by a colleague of mine, and hence I followed through with this. I wasn't disappointed by this. The work done was efficient, advice to me was always welcome, communication was good. Claire Cooper worked well with me as did her assistant Libby Jackson. Thank you to both.

I had a fantastic experience throughout my conveyancing transaction with Hopkins Solicitors. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and hassle free. Georgia and Amilya were professional, knowledgeable, responsive and always happy to answer any questions. Their communication was clear and timely and I always felt informed at every stage of the transaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable conveyancing team. Thank you for making the whole process so seamless!

Fast, professional service - I needed an adjustment to our title deed. The error was identified, pointed out to us with a clear advice on what needed to be done. The work was carried out swiftly and efficiently.
