Abell Limited Avis 

Enquired about EIS. Met with Jonathan who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Very pleased to have found a professional company who understands EIS rules etc and have been supported every step of the way during the process.

Great accountancy and corporate finance team. Worked with Jonathan and Chris on EIS.

Professional and straightforward dealing with Jonathan at Abell. Would recommend for help with EIS.

Having received several letters about a potential stamp duty rebate this one got my attention as it was more professional. From initial contact the process was well explained and easy to service and communication was excellent and I benefitted from a substantial rebate that I was unaware was available.

Highly professional outfit, with great speed of execution and good comms

Really appreciated the professional approach from Abell as they dealt with everything and we got a tax rebate which we would not have known about otherwise! Thanks so much

Abel Morliss are an exceptional organisation. They are well organised and very easy to deal with and guided me through a complicated HMRC issue and delivered great results. Would thoroughly reccomend.

Excellent company to deal with. They managed our whole process professionally and achieved a successful result for us. I absolutely recommend them.

Great firm! They helped us with a stamp duty claim and won promptly.

Quick and efficient. Definitely recommend.
They assisted me with SDLT rebate claim.

Abell helped me reduce my stamp duty on buying a new home.
Excellent personal service with a great outcome. I was delighted.

Only for Chris, I would have been totally unaware that I was able to claim back money from my stamp duty liability. Chris took me through the application and checked in with me until the refund was made. I am truly grateful and can highly recommend Abell Limited.

Great service. I was in a hole and Abell turned around my problem quickly, diligently and, most importantly, sympathetically. Service and delivery with a human touch still exist...

Chris and the Abell team provided a great service. Very happy we choose Abell.

We were contacted by several companies re a stamp duty rebate and were understandably sceptical as it was news to us. However, we discovered someone else we knew had used Abell Morliss for the same thing and did receive a rebate as promised. We engaged them and Chris talked us through the process. About a month later we received a call to say the claim was a success and then we received the funds. Simple as that!

A little while ago I received a letter addressed to myself and my partner from Abell Morliss based at Canary Wharf, London, in which they advised that they had become aware that I had paid x amount in Stamp Duty Land Tax while purchasing our home, and then said "We have reviewed the structure of your property and believe you may qualify for one of the various reliefs HMRC offer for Stamp Duty Land Tax". The company's letter also states that the company provides a "No Success, No Fee Stamp Duty reclaim service".

The message in this letter was of course tempting to believe. So I did some research and saw by way of the government's HMRC's web-page about possible reliefs on SDLT that I qualify for none of the following SDLT reliefs:

first-time buyers
multiple dwellings
building companies buying an individual’s home
employers buying an employee’s house
local authorities making compulsory purchases
property developers providing amenities to communities
companies transferring property to another company
charities buying for charitable purposes
right to buy properties
registered social landlords
Crown employees
freeport tax sites
property investment funds, for example Property Authorised Investment Funds (PAIFs) and Co-ownership Authorised Contractual Schemes (CoACSs)

So, I can only conclude that "Abell Morliss" posts letters to people who have paid SDLT in the hope that the home-owners will request the company to investigate whether the home-owners are due reliefs, and if the company then finds that a home-owner IS due one or more reliefs then "Abell Morliss" will charge the home-owner a fee.

Home-owners can surely save themselves from having to pay "Abell Morliss" such a fee by simply examining the above list of reliefs and possibly seeking reliefs directly from HMRC!

The above list of reliefs is published on the government's webpage concerning Stamp Duty Land Tax.

Abell Morliss managed my claim for stamp duty multiple dwellings relief. I shopped around several companies offering the service and their fees were easily the most reasonable. They managed the claim very efficiently, with clear emails explaining the small amount of information they needed from me. From first contacting them to receiving the relief in my bank account only took a month. I'm really pleased I chose them to handle the claim.

Very good and quick response, easy to communicate, very friendly staff... best experience ever. Thank you very much!

“Our dealings with Abell Morliss has been a pleasure. Everyone we have dealt with from the company has been professional and friendly. The whole process was quick even in these difficult working situations we now find ourselves in and we are very grateful for all their assistance .”

Unsolicited contact by letter in breach of GDPR claiming to be able to get a refund on SDLT.

Attempted to contact the company multiple times & unable to get through.

Beware & do your own research before taking on anything like this as it is clear that whilst it may be possible to get a refund - should HMRC challenge it you would have to repay the fee & Abell Morliss have not actually done proper research on this. If they had they wouldn't have wasted their time or mine contacting me!
