Finding our car park

Enter the Booth’s car park off Marshall Way, Ripon, and turn left. Drive a short distance past the InstaVolt electric vehicle charging station and our driveway is on your left. Park your vehicle then follow the path on the left to our rear entrance and press the buzzer.

If our car park is full, North Yorkshire Council has a list of the public car parks in Ripon city centre here.

“A professional service; a complex issue was made crystal clear. Thank you.”

Can you get a Stamp Duty refund?

In certain circumstances, yes.

For example, if you purchase a new home before selling your existing main residence, you may initially have to pay the higher rate for additional properties.

If you then sell your previous main home within three years, you may be able to reclaim the 3% surcharge.

Refund applications can be submitted through the government’s official website.

Can Stamp Duty be reduced?

While Stamp Duty cannot usually be avoided entirely, there may be legitimate ways to reduce the amount payable.

This includes:

Negotiating a lower purchase price
Separating the value of removable fixtures and fittings from the property price
Ensuring you claim any available reliefs, such as first-time buyer relief.

We can help ensure that the correct SDLT amount is calculated and that you do not pay more tax than necessary.
