HMRC may owe you a Stamp Duty Refund if your property also had a commercial usage.
If you have purchased a property that includes both residential and non-residential elements, you may be eligible for a stamp duty refund.
Stamp Duty refund for an mixed use properties
A mixed-use property refers to a property that incorporates both residential and non-residential components. For instance, it could be a combination of a flat and a shop, doctor’s surgery, or office space.
To further elaborate, as per the guidance provided by HMRC, the term “non-residential” property may include:
- Commercial properties, such as shops or offices.
- Properties that are not suitable for habitation (uninhabitable).
- Agricultural land that forms part of an operational farm or is used for agricultural purposes.
- Any other land or property that is not considered part of a dwelling’s garden or grounds.
- The purchase of six or more residential properties in a single transaction.
In summary, a residential property that is purchased and incorporates any of these non-residential elements, in addition to the residential component, can be classified as a mixed-use property as a whole.
If you have purchased a mixed use property, we may be able to assist you in reclaiming a stamp duty refund.
