Reclaim VAT on Your Dream Home — Correctly and Efficiently
VAT for Self-Builders
If you’re building, converting, or renovating your own home, you may be entitled to reclaim the VAT on many of your project costs. The potential savings can be significant — but the rules are strict, the process detailed, and errors are common.
At Landmark PT, we guide self-builders through the VAT process from start to finish, ensuring you claim everything you’re entitled to and avoid costly mistakes that could jeopardise your refund.
The Opportunity — and the Risk
Under the UK’s self-build VAT refund scheme, individuals can recover VAT on certain construction and conversion costs when creating or restoring a home for personal use.
However, the scheme is tightly defined, and the eligibility depends on:
Whether your project qualifies as a new build, conversion, or restoration.
The nature and use of the property — it must be your main residence, not a business or investment.
The type of works and materials purchased.
The accuracy and timing of your claim and documentation.
A small error in invoicing, scope, or certification can delay or even invalidate your refund. That’s why getting professional guidance early is crucial.
How We Help
Our self-build VAT service ensures your claim is handled correctly, efficiently, and with the best possible outcome.
We:
Review drawings, quotations, and invoices to determine which costs qualify.
Advise on project structuring to ensure eligibility for VAT recovery.
Apportion costs where mixed-use or non-qualifying elements exist.
Prepare or check VAT refund claim submissions to HMRC.
Liaise directly with suppliers and contractors to ensure invoices meet requirements.
With our background in both VAT and construction, we make the process straightforward, giving you confidence that every reclaimable penny is identified and claimed.
