vivienz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 When we bought our plot, we still owned our old house and so had to pay a 3% SDLT surcharge on the whole price of the new place, with 3 years to reclaim it if the old place was sold within that time. We sold our old house on 19th December and I put in the reclaim online on 6th January. I was expecting to wait a couple of months but was amazed when checking my bank account today to see that it was repaid on 10th January. Very pleased indeed! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Good to hear, we just sold our previous house earlier this month and should really get our claim in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
