Hi There,
You have to be very careful in using fixtures and fittings, it could open you and the vendor up to problems in the future. It's not legal and most solicitors will not agree to it.
However, you do have the option of Stamp Duty Land Tax Mitigation. It is a legal processed based on the current legislation which allows you to mitigate the Stamp Duty on property over 250K. It's a very specialist process so not all law firms will have the knowledge or experience to undertake the conveyancing with the planning.
At Convey With Me, we work with UK Tax Planners offering a robust solution to the planning, backed by council's opinion. We work with a panel of law firms who have the expertise to do the conveyancing along side the planning. All parties are provided with an independent insurance policy underwritten by Lloyd's of London. Buyers save up to 52% on Stamp Duty. This equate to £4,680 on a purchase of just 300K! The savings increases the higher the purchase price.
If you are buying over 250K, give me a call or send me an email and we can look at the opportunity to fit your specific purchase. Please mention Brand New Homes so we know how you heard about our services. I look forward to speaking to you!
