Stamp Duty
Land Tax

Why can I get a refund?

New Build or Old, we specialise in Stamp duty refunds based on science and data. The main criteria the property must have been purchased within the past four years and its value must be over £950,00

In 2022 HMRC changed the criteria on which stamp duty is calculated and you may be due a refund.The Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT ) paid on properties can officially be refunded by HMRC if certain criteria are compliant.

This information and conditions are  freely available on HMRC website and a manual of conditions is publicly available.

Our survey identifies the issues where documented data, scientifically analysed by world famous laboratories can if present, confirm the triggers for a Stamp Duty Refund

We provide specialist help to assist stamp duty refunds.

What are the conditions.

There are many conditions which can be met to obtain a refund, but many applications are misinterpretations of the law and when put forward are simply rejected. The case must be put forward with all information and verified data (evidence) supplied.Our survey identifies the issues where documented data, scientifically analysed by world famous laboratories can if present, confirm the triggers for a Stamp duty refund.

How likely am I to get a Stamp duty refund?

While there are many trigger points for Stamp Duty Refund, most according to HMRC, are unlikely to be successful as they are minor issues which are subjective. As certified Indoor Environmental Hygienists we provide verifiable data to support the refund claim. We cannot guarantee success but our report may be an eye opener, win or loose.

What is the process?

Contact us for a claim form. This will identify for you the parameters of a likely claim success. If you think you are eligible, we will provide you with a contact to undertake the paperwork and compliance to HMRC routes to refund. As Indoor Environmental Hygienists we will provide a report using state of art analysis which will or won’t confirm various issues which fall into the HMRC refund category of pollution. This isn’t necessarily mould or toxic chemicals, neither is it the result of building on a brown site and is usually invisible. This is a no win no fee claim process but third-party analysis & verification of evidence from samples may be required.

It is where people get sick from building-related illnesses (usually water damage of some form)

Failure in treatments of Inflammatory Response (CIRS)

Paper 1110 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Chronic health conditions like CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) can be challenging to treat—especially when the root cause remains unidentified. This paper explores why treatments may fail, highlighting the critical role of environmental factors, particularly mycotoxin exposure from mould and bacteria.

Many treatment-resistant cases may be linked to undiagnosed environmental triggers that perpetuate inflammation and compromise immune, neurological, and detox pathways.

Could Your Child’s Environment Be Affecting Their Behaviour?

Paper 1102 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Sudden OCD, tics, or behavioural changes in children may be linked to autoimmune conditions like PANS/PANDAS—often triggered by infections or environmental stressors such as mould or bacteria.

Building Forensics identifies often hidden and invisible environmental triggers, including mould, bacteria, and toxins that may worsen or trigger immune-related conditions. Our detailed assessments go beyond basic testing, helping families and healthcare professionals reduce risks and support recovery.

Cancer and Possible Links to Mould and Biological Triggers

Rev 2 – October 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton Building Forensics

This paper explores peer-reviewed evidence suggesting links between cancer and biological hazards, particularly toxigenic moulds often found in indoor environments. Moulds can produce harmful chemicals that disrupt the endocrine and central nervous systems and may increase the risk of certain cancers.

Although most studies focus on ingesting contaminated food, many biological and chemical contaminants can be inhaled or passed through the skin.

Mould and Inflammatory Response Linked to Alzheimer’s and ALS

Paper 101 – September 2024 Written by Jeff Charlton

Growing evidence suggests that mould exposure and its byproducts, such as mycotoxins, may contribute to neurological conditions like motor neuron disease (MND), including ALS, and possibly Alzheimer’s. These toxins can trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune system disruption—factors linked to neurodegeneration.

While research is ongoing, some case studies and reviews highlight potential links between chronic mould exposure in water-damaged environments and neurological decline. Assessing possible triggers in your home as early as possible may be imperative.
