SDLT UPDATE 2025

This 3-hour session is designed for both residential and commercial practitioners. 

We will review the changes during the past year, including

• the abolition of multiple dwellings relief (but buyers still acquire 

   multiple dwellings)

• increases to residential SDLT rates on 31 October 2024, with more to come on 1 April 2025

• significant decisions on mixed-use property and other issues

• hanges to guidance on chattels and first-time buyers’ relief.

As usual there will be case studies and worked examples. 

It has been some years since we looked at how to deal with SDLT on rent on the grant of leases, which is poorly understood.

We will also cover lease variations, lease renewal, surrenders and regrants, and overlap relief.
