Cornerstone

Spear's Review

Cornerstone offers a wide range of advice for private HNW clients and commercial developers on SDLT payments when purchasing real estate.

The firm helps clients to navigate confusion around the 3% surcharge, introduced in 2016, as well as assisting with previous incorrect transactions. When clients are looking to purchase buy-to-let properties, the company can offer advice on setting up property investment portfolios from a tax perspective. 

‘Homeowners often inadvertently find themselves with a bigger stamp duty bill than they should,’ the firm says. Founded in 2006, representatives sometimes appear in the national media, demystifying issues around taxation.
