Overpaid Stamp Duty Refund Claim

Check if you paid too much Stamp Duty when buying a property and reclaim what you are owed.

What Is an Overpaid Stamp Duty Refund Claim?

If you paid too much Stamp Duty Land Tax when purchasing a property, you may be entitled to reclaim the overpayment.

Many property buyers have paid higher rates due to second home surcharges, incorrect property classifications, or administrative errors.

If your circumstances changed after purchase or the wrong rate was applied, you may be eligible for a refund.

Common Reasons You May Be Eligible

You may qualify if:

  • You paid the additional 3% second home surcharge.
  • You sold your previous property within the required timeframe.
  • Your property was incorrectly classified.
  • You believe the wrong Stamp Duty rate was applied.

This claim allows you to review your purchase and reclaim overpaid Stamp Duty.

Many property buyers pay more Stamp Duty than necessary — we help you check eligibility and reclaim overpaid tax.
