Property Planet Podcast from Bell Howley Perrotton with Amanda Perrotton and guest Simon Nosworthy

In this episode, Amanda Perrotton is joined by Simon Nosworthy of Osbornes Law LLP. You can listen to the episode here.

Together, they explore the steps that can be taken to de-risk a solicitor firm's conveyancing department from inadvertently giving tax advice, particularly related to Stamp Duty Land Tax, to clients that could later land the firm in hot water.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

As always, if you have any questions related to Stamp Duty Land Tax or wider tax and legal questions involved with property transactions, please send us an email to enquiries@bhptax.law and we'll gladly get back to you.
