Hope someone can help with this stamp duty question as me and wife are beat.
Bought a new build in August 2018 at £315k in my wife's name ( as first time buyer ).
The stamp duty at the time was 300k hence she paid £750 duty...
(5% on £15k).
On now to the Oct p2018 budget in which the chancellor increased the stamp duty threshold from £300k to £500k and said this... I quote
"Today I am extending this relief to all first time buyers of shared ownership properties valued up to £500k…
…and we will make this relief retrospective so any first time buyer who has made such a purchase since the last Budget will benefit".
My question is can my wife claim her stamp duty back ?
Thank You.
