Davis & James Reviews 

Great service. Easy to use and friendly individuals. I am a very happy client.

A smooth sail from the begining, Amy & Ben both of you - thank you so much. The total process took 4 months (submitted application on 27th May claim received on 05th Oct).

Fabulous service from Ben and Amy at Davis & James. The process was so simple and quick. I received the overpayment on my Stamp Duty straight into my bank account within 2 months. Highly recommend.

Davis & James sent a letter explaining the potential for a SDLT partial refund, based on multiple dwellings. I knew this existed but didn’t know how to claim. They have an easy step by step guide and take care of all the difficult stuff. I got a refund within 6 weeks.

David & James were very helpful and efficient in securing a stamp duty refund we had not previously been aware we were entitled to. Thanks especially to Amy Palmer

Davis & James approached us and we were initially sceptical having previously done all our homework in relation to stamp duty paid on our new home. However, they made us aware of our current rights and were extremely helpful and straightforward to deal with. They answered all our questions and were very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Many thanks to Ben, Amy and all the team that helped us receive money back that was overpaid on our purchase.

My wife and I used Davis & James to manage the claim of a Stamp Duty refund under the Multiple Dwelling Relief rules.

Davis and James contacted me to explain that a claim may be possible, along with a number of other service providers. I chose Davis & James because Ben James and Amy Palmer gave me most confidence in their ability to reach a successful conclusion.

They delivered the refund at a very competitive rate and I was very happy with the service received.

Davis & James assisted me with a stamp duty refund. They were professional throughout, clearly explaining the process and keeping me updated on progress.

Wow! Very skeptical about the whole thing, but after 8 weeks I received my HMRC refund for overpaid SDLT.
Amy Palmer was our account manager and kept us updated throughout the process - Thank you !

As with everyone else leaving reviews about this, I was sceptical when I received the letter from Davis & James...it seemed only too good to be true! But trust me there really is no catch (Davis and James take 20% but that's only fair - that's what they are in business to do) They are a very organised and efficient team, I have dealt with Amy, Simon and Ben and they all were very professional and helpful. It feels very nice when you suddenly get nearly 8k land in your bank account - its like free money! Top marks to the team!

David and James were quick, efficient and extremely helpful.
I would not hesitate to recommend them

When we received our first letter informing us we were due a refund I ignored it believing it too good to be true. However when the second letter arrived I decided to check reviews and give the team a ring. They explained how the service worked. It was so easy we had to answer a few questions and send a couple of photos Amy and the team did the rest . Amy kept us updated with emails and before I knew it we received a refund of over £2000 due to the property having a annex .

Wow!! Just received my SDLT refund that Davis & James claim for on our behalf. I must admit that my natural cynicism gave me a low expectation of getting any kind of result. So I am was surprised today that Davis and James managed to claim the full refund they had told me I would get from HMRC with little / no hassle for me and the money owed to me is in my account already.

Well done to the team at Davis & James. Thankyou

I was hugely sceptical. I mean I literally wasn't on the bus until the very last minute - which with hindsight was hugely unfair to Amy and Simon who were professional, diligent and communicative each and every step of the way. And after the misery of parting with such a significant sun of money for Stamp Duty, the prospect of a sizeable rebate was surely too good to be true.

How wrong I was.

I received a letter out of the blue from Davis & James on the 15th March 2022, had a conversation, answered some straightforward questions, provided some identification, and on the 14th April 2022, received a transfer into my account. Amy ran the show extremely capably, and the entire team answered every question I answered within 30 minutes. Quite extraordinary.

If you qualify for MDR - I wouldn't look any further than Davis & James. For the sceptics, ask Amy for my contact information and I'll happily help alleviate any concerns you may have.

I received a letter through the post from Davis & James and genuinely thought it was a scam. If it weren’t for Trust Pilot I would have probably thrown the letter in the bin. they work on a "no win, no fee" basis so i thought, why not!
The team were very professional, communicative, transparent and easy.
The funds hit my account last night and I can honestly say I’m a very happy man. I highly recommend their services.



I’m a happy man!

Like most other reviewers I was very skeptical that this was real, but I after I read the other reviews I contacted Davis & James and I’m very glad I did! Significant rebate paid into my account 3 weeks later! I didn’t give any bank or ID info until after Davis & James gave me an HMRC reference number & I was able to contact HMRC myself to verify it was a real application. Great service from start to finish.

Out of the blue came a note of advice suggesting we might be entitled to a refund of SDRT which we had paid on our downsize house purchase several months before; because Davis & James research suggested we might be entitled to MPR since the property consisted of two separate buildings. There followed the only hiccup! Our e-mail reply had gone to Spam! After a couple of months I phoned and the e-mail was recovered and with admirable speed we answered all the questions, took pictures and confirmed (we hoped!) our eligibility. Very smoothly Amy co-ordinated every thing; Ben and Simon (and maybe others unseen?) claimed and we were refunded thousands in overpaid tax for a very well earned and modest fee. Failure would have cost us nothing so we highly recommend Davis & James and full marks to Amy!

We unfortunately live in a world where there are folk that try and swindle you out of money. This can not be said of Davis and James.
At first I thought it was a con and did indeed bin their letters. In the end I was curious to see how they worked so I rang. They were polite and seemed efficient, didn’t ask for bank details etc. it made me wonder so I rang my conveyancer who confirmed I was due a refund. They could have applied for me but I decided to go with Davis and James after all had they not made contact with me I would I have never known about it. They deserved the fee. It was fair.

All went smooth they did all the work including getting papers from my conveyancer. It took next to no time (approx 5weeks ) before the refund was in an old bank account ,( still being safe.) You can ask no more. The people I dealt with were polite fast and efficient.
I can not thank them enough as today that windfall has saved the day.
Thank you to all of them for Those reading this with the same doubts and fears I had. Don’t worry it worked great for me I have the refund in my bank , it’s not a con

I was a bit sceptical about multiple dwelling relief having been bombarded by various firms, but after speaking to Ben we proceeded with David and James and are delighted we did!

The team were organised, professional and fast! From the original conversation to funds in our bank was a matter of weeks and all it was very easy indeed. We would recommend David and James to anyone with similar questions about SDLT.

This was a very easy, effortless and efficient service. I cannot give these guys enough credit. Every question and request was replied to and completed very quickly, no matter how big or small.

I would highly recommend using Davis & James.
