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.

Kellie Darke

Tagged solicitor Kellie Darke

This is the 4th house conveyancing that Kellie and her team have done for us. On one occasion a rare obscure technical issue others had missed ,was spotted. So important that we stopped the purchase. Whenever we contact the office they are clearly happy to help with the query, and, as a team are cheerful and determined to take pressure off the client; a welcome feeling on which to end a phone call. We have absolute confidence in the knowledge and abilities of Kellie and her team.

Bakshi Dhanda

Tagged solicitor Bakshi Dhanda

Bakshi and her team guided us through a very complicated sale particularly concerning a land issue. Whatever hurdles came up (and there were plenty), Bakshi over and again went the extra mile to find solutions. This in addition to all the other issues around the sale and purchase of the properties. We all particularly looked forward to visiting the office, seeing Bakshi in person. She made us feel welcome and important clients, and was very very patient with us. Other appointments were with members of her team who also could not have been kinder or more efficient. We will certainly come to Bakshi again when and if we need legal support and have no hesitation in recommending her unconditionally.

Andrew Yates

Tagged solicitor Andrew Yates

Like many householders in Sheffield our house was leasehold. The ground rent was derisory, only £2 per annum, but we decided that it would make future sales simpler if we bought the freehold. The freeholds were in a group of 12 and the freeholders were happy to sell them all at once. Andrew gave us a reduced price, since he was processing all 12 properties. We managed to recruit all our neighbours into the project, at least partly because of the advantageous price Andrew gave us. Andrew was always easy to contact and answered emails promptly. The Elliot Mather office in Chesterfield has convenient parking, adjacent to the famous crooked spire. I would strongly recommend Andrew and his firm for any future legal business. Thank you for your care and skill.

Hassan Mahmood

Tagged solicitor Hassan Mahmood

Harris Cuffaro & Nichols were on the approved list of solicitors to act for my lenders. Throughout the process Hassan was a great help with prompt communication and some wise suggestions. In fact we saved more than I was expecting for stamp duty which as it turned out I needed later for some additional refurbishment works. It wasn't exactly a straightforward transaction as we were creating leases for properties with a refinance. He saved me some money on the legal title drawings as well with some advice. I can't really recommend Hassan enough, I doubt I'll look elsewhere for legal representation. A good solicitor is hard to find.
