Hi everyone, has anyone recently sold an affordable house and managed to get an upgrade works allowance towards your clawback?
We are thinking of selling our affordable house and wonder if anyone could share their experience.
We built an extension back in 2011, replaced all the windows, doors, kitchen, bathrooms, changed the layout, done the garden.
After getting in touch with SDCC we have been told that new bathrooms, kitchen , windows and doors would not be deductible.
The legislation allows for extending or enlarging the property to be allowed for when calculation the clawback. So it’s basically, an extension or attic conversation.
We have invested a lot in the house and feeling that it’s a bit unfair they are not taking, for example windows into account.
They also say that receipts and bank statements would be required in order to calculate the cost of the enlargement or extension. Unfortunately, we don’t have all the receipts 12 years later. Even though, they will be carrying out an evaluation for 150€ they still need those receipts. A bit pointless.
Furthermore, the current value of the improvements has increased compared to 12 years back but It seems it’s just the cost of the improvements at the time.
If you could share your experience- it would be much appreciated. Thanks
