Stamp taxes on property and securities, modelled before you sign.
SDLT on UK residential and non-residential property, leases, reorganisations and share transfers - with clear liability ranges and structuring options.
The liability is rarely just the headline rate.
We analyse linked transactions, multiple dwellings relief, mixed-use claims, leases and partnership transactions, plus corporate reconstructions where stamp duty / stamp duty reserve tax intersects with reorganisation relief. Deliverables include liability memos for boards and solicitors, and HMRC clearance routes where uncertainty is material.
Before work begins, we clarify the operating context, governance expectations, and commercial pressures behind the brief. That gives the engagement a clear purpose before technical analysis starts.
The result is a more complete advisory view: what matters now, where risk may surface next, and how recommendations can be implemented without creating unnecessary hand-offs or ambiguity.
Scope
Clarify the decision, deadline, stakeholders, and evidence standard before work begins.
Delivery
Combine partner judgement, technical review, and practical implementation planning in one workstream.
Follow-through
Convert findings into owners, actions, and next steps that leadership can track after the session.
About stamp duty.
Yes. We routinely work alongside solicitors and lender counsel to align contract clauses with the tax modelling.
Signing on a compressed timeline?
