CPD Programme 2022

CPD – TRAINING

CPD Programme 2022

We have successfully moved our CPD programme online and offered access to other free CPD from our providers, clients and local chambers etc. This has proved popular with many of you and is something we plan to continue to offer certainly in the short term.

There are a number of other things in the pipeline including some more general legal updates and one day conferences (which will be face to face). If you can help in any way with speakers, topic suggestions or venue space, this all keeps out costs down and provides the opportunity to reduce our delegate rates.

SDLT PART 2

Date: Tuesday 5 April 2022 Time: 1500-1630

Paul Clark has been a commercial property solicitor for over 40 years. He is an expert on many aspects of commercial property law and is a popular and engaging speaker.

There are three main topics:

1. Three case studies. One is based on an actual transaction for the purchase of five properties for less than £700,000 and involves the current rules on dilapidation, mixed-use and MDR. One is an extended version of a house purchase story I mentioned briefly a year ago. It raises issues over the higher (15%) SDLT rate and non-resident surcharge. The final study illustrates some current issues with mixed-use.

2. HMRC has issued a consultation on major changes to SDLT on mixed-use transactions and the reform of multiple dwellings relief (MDR). Even though we do not yet know what the changes will be, or when they will come into force, we can discuss a range of possibilities. The proposals aim to stop artificial claims, but they also shake up other rules. 3. A review of the latest SDLT cases.
