Most conveyancers don’t set out to give tax advice, yet SDLT is unavoidable in property transactions. With increasing HMRC scrutiny and new regulatory requirements, those filing SDLT returns face higher accountability and greater risk of negligence or PI exposure.

That’s where Relatus comes in.

We are specialist SDLT & LTT advisers. Led by a qualified Taxation Technician (ATT) and non-practising solicitor, we help conveyancers manage risk, stay compliant, and deliver accurate, defensible outcomes for clients.

How we support conveyancers

📑 Independent SDLT & LTT checks – Transaction-specific reviews to ensure the correct tax position and evidence of expert oversight.

📝 Return support & filing – From straightforward submissions to complex transactions, including mixed-use, leasehold, shared ownership, and higher-rate scenarios.

📚 Written tax opinions – Defensible advice for complex or high-risk matters with full legislative and case law support.

⚖️ HMRC compliance & tribunal representation - Support during HMRC challenges, appeals, and Tax Tribunal representation with a proven track record.

Why specialist support matters

With new legislation and registration requirements for conveyancers, outsourcing SDLT work to a specialist is no longer optional it’s risk management in practice.

Our advice is practical, current, and human-led, giving conveyancers and their clients confidence that SDLT and LTT matters are correct from the outset.
