SDLT – Request for Repayment of the Additional Higher Rates on Additional Residential Properties

If you have paid the additional 3% SDLT on the purchase of a second property worldwide and within three years of that second purchase, you sell your previous main residence, you can request a refund of the additional 3% SDLT paid. This is done by simply obtaining the SDLT 5 certificate from your solicitor who initially dealt with the purchase of the property giving rise to the 3% SDLT surcharge and completing the refund form ‘SDLT – Request for a repayment of the higher rates on additional residential properties’ (see links below).
