Stamp Duty refund if you sold your previous property
If an individual sells their main residence within 3 years after purchasing a new or replacement main residence, they may be eligible to claim a refund for the surcharge stamp duty. This surcharge, typically set at 3%, is applied to additional or second homes.
The opportunity to claim the surcharge refund is generally available for a period of 12 months starting from the time of selling the previous main residence. During this timeframe, eligible individuals can submit their claim to recover the surcharge amount paid.
It’s important to note that specific regulations and criteria may apply, and it is advisable to consult with relevant authorities or seek professional advice to ensure eligibility and understand the process of claiming the surcharge refund.
