An unexpected partial refund from HMRC - expertly arranged

I received an unexpected partial refund from HMRC when I replied to the letter I received about over payment of Stamp Duty on my property purchase.

Mark and the team at Bolton Reed provided expert counsel on my circumstance, lined up all of the paperwork and made the arrangements on my behalf.

Within less than three weeks I had received my refund on the Stamp Duty over payment.

Highly recommended, professionally administered service.

Simple, quick and productive rebate process

We received lots of letters informing us we may have overpaid stamp duty. A quick google demonstrated this may have been the case due to the independent annex. We selected Bolton Reed. All very straight forward and the rebate was in our account within a month of passing through some simple details to Mark and his team. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Service , Honest and Transparent.

The team at Bolton Reed contacted us not long after purchasing our new home. When I looked into multi dwelling relief I realised what Mark and his team proposed was correct and totally viable. They acted on our behalf explaining all aspects of the process from start to finish with no hidden agender what so ever. Our case was resolved within 6 weeks with a refund paid directly to ourselves by HMRC. Can't recommend Bolton Reed enough !! Brilliant service all the way through.

What a shock, a tax refund!!!

Never realised that you could claim a part Stamp duty refund for an annex. Although just being returned your own money, without Bolton Reed we would have remained none the wiser.
It was a very easy process and Bolton Reed dealt with everything. Thank you

Fantastic service, great outcome

Bolton Reed contacted us on a few occasions to advise we may be eligible to a Stamp Duty refund, we ignored the first couple but then decided to give it a go.
Great desicion, application was sent off on August 1st, money was in our bank today.
I have seen people say this can be done without 3rd party involvement but I wouldn't even have been aware that this was a thing without Bolton Reed making contact and the process was very straight forward.

Highly recommend - refund of £11,000 thanks to Bolton Reed!

We are absolutely thrilled with the service from Bolton Reed. We moved into a property with an Annexe in July last year, and we had received numerous letters about the stamp duty refund which we read through but Bolton Reed's letter felt the most legitimate, and fees were reasonable compared to others so we thought we would give it a go. Mark was great to deal with, he was very informative and friendly. I did not feel pushed into anything and he gave me confidence in his success rate.

He can add another one to that success counting - we received a refund of just over £11,000!!! If you are doubting doing this, don't! It was a very easy process, Bolton Reed does everything for you and we waiting 4 weeks and got a big chunk of money! Highly recommend!

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable

A genuine, bona fide company, they were extremely helpful in advising me, totally free, about our property. In this case they decided there wouldn't be a likelihood of success (stamp duty overpayment reimbursement) and advised me accordingly. Really good, friendly service.

Absolutely fantastic service

Absolutely fantastic service. Mark at Bolton Reed is a brilliant advisor - he is thorough, efficient and I had complete confidence in him acting for us in relation to our claim for multiple dwelling relief. Thank you Mark for all your help.

Bolton Reed for SDLT refunds.We were unaware that we could claim…

We were unaware that we could claim Stamp Duty back for our annexe until Bolton Reed contacted us. We were cautious to begin with but we looked into the company and rang HMRC to see if such a claim was valid, it was confirmed by them. Mark at Bolton Reed dealt with our claim professionally and efficiently and we had very little to do. Their fee we think was modest.Very satisfied and grateful to them for bringing this to our attention.

Why pay for a free service?

Don't bother wasting your time giving these guys a portion of your money. HMRC will gladly help with this simple process for free. It just took me 1 phone call and 1 email to the stamp duty department and I got my full payment of Multiple Dwellings Relief for having an annexe refunded without having to pay a fee to chancers like these guys.
I did not use their services as HMRC were more than willing to help for free. They will provide any guidance needed. They note that my purchase was in 2019 when it was in fact 2018. Just goes to show the level of competency. This service can be provided for free from HMRC.

Thank you for your review. Naturally we are disappointed that you feel how you do, however, it is not reasonable to make reference to us as a 'chancers' when you don't know us nor have you used our services! We work hard to maintain our high feedback and positive rating and it is entirely disingenuous for people with no experience of our service to leave sweeping and malicious comments. We note that your purchase was in 2019 and it is fair to say that since then, HMRC has issued revised guidance, making claims like this more difficult, which is why professional tax experts like us are important.

Mark from Bolton Reed wrote to me..

Mark from Bolton Reed wrote to me to advise me of an over payment in stamp duty to HMRC made by my conveyancer. After signing 2 simple forms returned postage paid for permission to act on my behalf, I promptly received my refund payment directly from HMRC. A very easy and efficient service which I would highly recommend. Most satisfied.

Charge you thousands for something you can do yourself in 20 minutes

Bolton Reed will send you a fancy letters over and over again offering to claim back your overpaid Stamp Duty Land Tax but all you need to do is phone HMRC, get advice from them and send them a quick email to get the tax back. I reclaimed thousands and it was really really easy.

We are disappointed that you feel that our service is not a valuable one! We take the decision to make contact on more than one occasion as it is not unreasonable for people to dismiss this opportunity as unreal or a scam! Personal circumstances can also change over time and this approach gives people the opportunity to respond at a time which is relevant and suitable to them but we always make it clear that deadlines exist. These claims are not necessarily easy and we have had to undo and re-do correctly, numerous 'other party' claims. We are happy though that you achieved a positive result and would always invite feedback.
