SDLTM60215 - Processing
Multiple property transactions
The SDLT6 Guidance Notes refer to special arrangements that are
offered to customers making multiple acquisitions of property, i.e.
situations where a 6 or more land transactions take place on the
same day between the same purchaser and vendor.
The purchaser or their agent is encouraged to contact the
Stamp Office Helpline on 0845 603 0135 before the land transaction
return is prepared.
The Helpline will provide initial advice and may refer the
caller to the Birmingham Stamp Office if necessary.
They may suggest that the information is sent in schedular
format rather than multiple SDLT3s or SDLT4s.
The schedule can be obtained via e-mail from the Birmingham
Stamp Office.
The precise form of the schedule will depend on the nature of
the interests being acquired and how they should be coded.
Copies of the schedular information will be required both on
paper accompanying the SDLT1 and in electronic format. This will to
help reduce the time taken to produce the certificate for the
transaction.
It may also be suggested that callers liase with the land
registry to establish their minimum requirements for any
transaction in advance of submitting their return.
- when ‘’No’’ is entered at box 27 on the SDLT1, the Birmingham Stamp Office will issue a single certificate, supported by a list detailing the properties included in the customers schedule
- a tick in the ‘’Yes’’ box at question 27 will result in the Birmingham Stamp Office producing separate certificates for each property. This may prove time-consuming in certain circumstances where many certificates are requested
