Stamp Duty on Buy to Let
Shedloads
Posts: 4 Newbie
A couple of years ago I bought a flat to rent out and paid the excess Stamp Duty. However, I moved in to redecorate the place and Ive stayed. This is now my permanent residence. Can I reclaim the Stamp Duty?

Not necessarily. A SDLT surcharge refund only takes place if you sell your previous main residence within three years of purchasing the second property.I am a mortgage broker.

If when you bought the flat it was your only property, then perhaps you should not have paid the extra 3% in the first place. You do not say what else you owned at the time.0
