Amazing service

Bolton Reed contacted me stating I had overpaid stamp duty on my property as it had multiple dewllings, when further read into the situation they were correct and my original conveyancing solicitors had missed this completely to the tune of £ 15,000 !!! Further to this you o ly have one year from point of sale to reclaim this and had they not approached me in time this money would have never been recovered, throughout this they kept contact in a very timely fashion and very amicable personalities too, I'm not being buoyant out of result, this was a professional service carried out by professionals.

Top Class Service

After throwing away two previous letters from other companies, believing them to be scams, Bolton Reed's correspondence explained everything in a way that compelled us to call them.
Within weeks we received a rebate for over ten thousand pounds, with very little work on our part. Denise's expert advice on other matters also proved accurate and financially beneficial. We are delighted to highly recommend Bolton Reed.

Very professional would highly recommend.

Special thanks to Denise Banks...

Bolton Reed were excellent

Bolton Reed were excellent in every way whilst dealing with my stamp duty claim. I was kept informed, the situation was clear and I was awarded my claim at which point they took their fee.
All in all it was a no-brainer to work with them

We used Bolton Reed To reclaim…

We used Bolton Reed To reclaim thousands of overpaid stamp duty on our property-they were polite, efficient, and best of all, we got our money back from HMRC in no time.
I left contacting them to the very last minute, being sceptical about the whole thing, so glad I did now.
They know their topic, solicitors don’t, how many other people have overpaid on stamp duty and never claimed it!
Do not hesitate to contact Bolton Reed, it was one of the best phone calls we’ve ever made!

Highly recommended!

I received a letter from Bolton Reed with regards to the potential refund of a portion of the stamp duty that we had recently paid on our house purchase. I was slightly wary of this approach but thought I would give them a call. Spoke to one of the directors, Mark, who explained the situation very clearly. The whole process was taken care of efficiently and we were delighted to receive a not insubstantial cheque from HMRC! Thank you Mark and the team at Bolton Reed. Highly recommended!

Be very careful with this service

Be very careful with this service.

I asked several times during the process what the potential ramifications of this were and was told none.

I am now being charged council tax on 2 properties rather than 1. Bolton Reed are saying it is nothing to do with them or this process.

I have spoken to the council and they have informed me it is to do with this process.

Please stay away.

Reply from Bolton Reed Limited

Dear Tom
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that on this occasion you feel that you were not advised of the potential ramifications of a secondary council tax charge.
We pride ourselves in hour honesty, professionalism and transparency and was therefore surprised that on this occasion, it appears that we missed the mark.
Council Tax is always a consideration where secondary dwelling elements exist and it is our policy to always advise in this respect.
That said, it is not uncommon that individual local authorities conduct their own research from sold property data and target property purchases that need assessment.
It has not previously been our company policy to initiate Trust Pilot reviews due to historical 'manipulation' but will be inviting comment from our past customers and am confident that your experience is not one which is commonly shared.
Many thanks again and I hope you are keeping safe in these difficult times.
Kind regards
Mark Dicks
Managing Director

This company contacted me with regard…

This company contacted me with regard to potential stamp duty recovery. At first we were dubious about these guys as there were no online reviews, and was very wary of being scammed.

The process was easy and quick. I can confirm that we've since had a refund of stamp duty thanks to these guys. Would recommend.
