    Regardless I am buying a house or not £70 is £70.

    I you think like that why are you on this website in the first place?

    Actually IN THE CONTEXT OF BUYING A HOUSE, I find myself with much less money in my bank account so yeah it does matter!!!

    I can't believe I am even bothering explaining myself here. Can anyone help?

    £70 - you've probably used that much up in effort trying to find the form :)

    If I was making 10k a month yes I guess my time would be more valuabe... but as it is I have some free time over the next couple of days and saving £70 (even if it takes me 4 hours) will make me happy!

    Also, the concept of this website is to help people save money, not encouraging them spending them to "save time".

    NOW of course if I was a company director about to get a half a million pounds house, I would probably be spending my time on the internet looking for designers to decorate my house! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN... ;-l

    Thank you tara47!!! I can't believe what people say sometimes. I am not encouraging everyone to do it, as apparently it takes time and is a bit of a pain... BUT if you have the time, then why not?

    Also I am one of the lucky one today as I am a first time buyer exchanging friday... NO STAMP DUTY to pay... yooopiii!

    Anyway, I will post it on this thread if I am going to manage or if I am going to give up!

    I have ordered the form online on the HMRC website. It does mention ordering SDLT2,3,4,5,6... but ever SDLT1..? Anyway... I hope it will work.

    Lets see.
