Top outfit. Made it as easy as possible to get a substantial refund. Do speak to these guys if you paid a material amount of Stamp Duty.

Effortless and genuine

Effortless and genuine! Initially, we received correspondence from Stamp Duty Advisory Services and were unsure about their offerings. After conducting some research, we chose to proceed, and the process was unbelievably straightforward. We received £1,600 back, which we're now using to buy a new sofa. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we've already suggested them to our friends and family.

Headline: Warning: HMRC ‘Process Now, Check Later’ Risks

I received a letter from Stamp Duty Advisory Services claiming I have probably paid too much Stamp Duty. Before you sign anything, please speak to your own solicitor first.
According to the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT), homeowners should be aware of these facts before signing:

HMRC System: HMRC operates a ‘process now, check later’ system. A refund payment is not confirmation that HMRC has agreed the claim is valid.

Homeowner Liability: HMRC can audit claims later. If a claim is found to be incorrect, the homeowner is legally liable to pay back the full tax, plus interest and potentially penalties.

The Fee Risk: Agents typically charge a percentage fee. If HMRC later reclaims the money, the homeowner still owes 100% to HMRC, meaning they are out of pocket for the agent’s fee.

Free DIY Option: Taxpayers can amend their own returns or claim refunds directly from HMRC for free, without paying a third-party fee.

Advice: The CIOT recommends checking with your original solicitor or a tax adviser who is a member of a professional body (like CIOT or ATT) before proceeding with high-risk claims.

Reply from Stamp Duty Advisory Services Limited

Thank you for taking the time to share your views.

However, we would like to clarify a few important points for readers.

Firstly, this reviewer has never used our services. The comments appear to be general observations rather than feedback based on direct experience with Stamp Duty Advisory Services.

We fully appreciate that homeowners should carry out due diligence before engaging any firm. In fact, we actively encourage clients to seek independent advice if they wish and to review our detailed Terms & Conditions before proceeding.

To address the key concerns raised:

HMRC “process now, check later”
It is correct that HMRC may review claims after issuing a refund. This is standard practice across many tax areas and is not specific to SDLT reclaim firms.

Client protection & financial risk
Our Terms & Conditions clearly state that:

Clients are not left out of pocket for our fee if HMRC later requests repayment.

If any part of a claim is overturned, we refund our fee in proportion to the amount HMRC reclaims.

We also cover any interest, fines, or penalties charged by HMRC in relation to the claim, as set out in our agreement.

This means clients are not exposed to the “fee risk” described in the review.

DIY claims
It is absolutely true that individuals may approach HMRC directly. However, SDLT legislation is complex, and many homeowners prefer professional representation to ensure claims are prepared correctly and robustly.

We operate transparently, provide written agreements before engagement, and stand behind the work we submit.

If the reviewer would like to discuss their concerns directly, we would be happy to do so.

So easy and legit!

So easy and legit! We got a letter from Stamp Duty Advisory Services and at first we didn't know what they offered but I did some research and decided to go ahead, and couldn't have been easier and more simple, we got back £1,6K which we're putting towards a new sofa. So all in all is fantastic, we've recommended them to our friends and family.

Could not have been easier

Could not have been easier or more straightforward. After providing some basic information and doing a short video survey that was it! Great communication throughout the process and payment received with 10 weeks. Excellent service, highly recommended.

The most efficient and professional I have had the pleasure of dealing with in decades.

When we purchased our house a year ago I knew that there was more that could have been done to reduce the stamp duty tax but didn't know how to go about it.

Thank goodness for Stamp Duty Advisory Service who took care of everything in the most professional and efficient manner. I cannot recommend them enough. What's more the rebate arrived about four months ahead of when I was expecting it thanks to their excellent service.

Thank you guys so much.
