The Conveyancing Association (CA), the leading trade body for the conveyancing industry, has today (15th October 2021) announced the appointment of new Affiliate member, SDLT Compass.

  2. It produces an accurate SDLT calculation for clients regardless of their circumstances or the type of property being purchased.
  3. It ensures firms comply with Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) and PI insurers’ requirements.
  4. It ensures firms avoid underestimated or overestimated SDLT claims against them.
  5. It offers a free no-strings 14-day trial.
  6. It costs £50 plus VAT per audit for a standard case and provides the option to refer complex cases to a SDLT tax analyst team of specialists.

 

Chris Ward, Managing Director of SDLT Compass will be joining the Conveyancing Association’s Legal Members Meeting on 21st October 2021 to participate in a ‘SDLT Pitfalls and Solutions’ session.

Chris will present Conveyancing Association members with the benefits of using SDLT Compass, participating in a Q&A session and will be joined by Edward Donne of Howden, to discuss SDLT issues, claims and how they can be avoided.

Nicky Heathcote, Non-Executive Chair of The Conveyancing Association, said:

“We are very pleased to welcome SDLT Compass as the newest Affiliate member of the Association and are looking forward to Chris and his team taking a full part in our events, starting with our next Legal Members’ Meeting.
