Uninhabitable Property
Those that buy uninhabitable properties may be exempt from paying the stamp duty surcharge or entitled to a stamp duty refund of the amount paid.
An uninhabitable property, by general definition, is one which is not fit for dwelling (or everyday living). While HMRC does not provide a clear definition for an uninhabitable property, for a property to be deemed habitable it must have the necessary facilities to meet basic living needs. For instance, a bathroom (for hygiene reasons) and a kitchen or cooking area (for basic living purposes).
There are many factors in which a property may be deemed uninhabitable for example; mould, asbestos, no running water or faulty electricals.
You may be due a HMRC Stamp Duty Refund.
(Properties which are bought for renovation purposes that are deemed habitable at the time of purchase will not be entitled to a stamp duty refund).

What can I get a Stamp Duty Refund for?The reality of Stamp Duty is that it’s a tax that you are required to pay, it usually takes a tax specialist to make sure everything is calculated correctly, especially if you own multiple properties (residential and non-residential) or land. There are a list of things that could of resulted in overpaying stamp duty, if for example you property has: Woodlands, a lake or more than 3 acres of land Outbuildings, annexes and studio barns (must be self-contained) Farmland or agricultural land Equestrian land Historic building or ruins This list is non-exhaustive, there are other exemptions which may relate to you.

How do I know if I'm eligible?If you’re about to purchase a property or have purchased one in the last 4 years, then you could be eligible to claim a tax relief. (If you bought it more than 4 years ago HMRC won’t offer relief, but there are other avenues you can look at to get a tax reduction). Solicitors and conveyancers are the norm when buying or selling a property, but they are not tax experts - at least 25% of people have overpaid and are due a refund. Calculating what you’re actually owed and getting this back from HMRC are two completely different matters, you will need an expert like Stamp Duty Returns to examine your case. Contact us today, our expert team can help calculate the amount of tax you're due back from HMRC.
