Top class service
Waterstone Legal were the cheapest quote we could find but the quality of the service was 5 star. We had prompt replies to our emails (within an hour or two) every time and Darius was instrumental in pushing the buyer’s Solicitors when they were slow to respond. If I was selling again now, I would choose Waterstone again without hesitation. Thank you Darius!

Great work!
WS Legal did a great job with our sale. Towards the end, when we were nearing completion, the buyer's party raised numerous questions, and the solicitor assigned to our case (Nithi), very diligently checked requests and responded. She also kept me informed of developments so I could help answer queries. She did her best to move the sale to exchange ASAP. She was also kind and helpful - she did a great job!

SDLT UPDATE

Our conveyancing solicitors are dedicated to completing your transactions as quickly as possible before 31 March, 2025 (SDLT increase deadline). However, because of the involvement of multiple parties in your transactions that are beyond our control, we are unable to guarantee completion. Therefore, if completion does not take place by 31 March, 2025, we will not be responsible for any increase in SDLT payable. In the event that your matters are not completed before 1 April, 2025, please make sure you have sufficient funds to cover the additional SDLT.

Please note the following changes:

1. The threshold (being the amount of the purchase price that will be free from Stamp Duty) is currently £250,000. This will be reduced to £125,000.

2. The threshold for First-time Buyers Relief over which SDLT will be payable is currently £425,000. This will be reduced to £300,000.

3. The maximum purchase price for which First-Time Buyers Relief (as above) can be claimed at all is currently £625,000. This will be reduced to the previous level of £500,000.

If you are purchasing a property, and are in any doubt please visit the governments stamp duty calculator at https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/calculate-stamp-duty-land-tax/#!/intron. Where possible we will have given you advice on the different amounts payable before and after the change but if you have any further queries, then please do let us know.
