Benefit
What is the true cost ?
You really don’t want your home to be contaminated but would like a refund.
Unfortunately, both are linked and if there isn’t pollution even in a brand-new home your very lucky.
The pollution can take many forms, but our expertise is in identifying it, (not the tax issues)
We comply with the law and expect to provide you with necessary evidence to support your claim. That evidence has a cost and including lab fees is likely to be around £2500 plus VAT
The Downside
If we don’t find anything which is extremely unlikely, but not guaranteed, the only debateable fact would be “I accept the report findings but is it a dangerous level of pollutant”
First Benefit The issues we discover may fulfil the requirements of HMRC and the refund criteria.
Third Benefit
Nobody wants to live in a contaminated home and the health risks are now well documented. If you succeed in receiving a stamp duty refund you will probably want to remove the pollution. BuildingForensics.co.uk offer this service with verifiable results.
