PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Stamp Duty

I already owned the first and second floors of a detached house. Last year I bought the ground floor flat and, as it was treated as a second home at the time I had to pay Stamp Duty of £8000. I was then granted Planning Permission to convert the property into a single dwelling, and this is now complete. The property has been registered with the Land Registry and Council tax rated by the local Council as a single dwelling. I also own the Freehold.
As I now do not have a second home, should I be able to claim back all or part of the Stamp Duty? I contacted the appropriate Authority, but they were less than helpful.
Any advice would be gratefully received
