So here's the situation, second time buyer who is buying a 4 bed detached in a new development. Houses are listed as having all the features and one of them is "No stamp duty for owner occupiers".
The house is 143.99 Sq.m and when I check the revenue.ie website it says that on new houses where you are an owner occupier that stamp duty should be paid on properties over 125sq m, So I emailed the agent selling these and they said "There is no stamp duty payable on this property for owner occupier, the stamp duty is determined by the site value"
Is this a guarantee? I somehow feel like I will sign contracts and then be loaded with a stamp duty bill and have no come back, can I use the agents reply as proof and take legal action if I have to pay stamp duty?
