Annabel gives post-completion teams one home for SDLT. Import a portfolio once and it calculates, validates, files in bulk and tracks every payment and deadline - so the returns simply leave, correctly, on time.
Portfolio deals arrive as spreadsheets: linked transactions, premiums, stepped rents. NPV is rebuilt for every matter, UTRNs live in inboxes, and the 14-day clock runs against every return separately.
The failure modes are mundane and expensive - a wrong local authority code, missing relief evidence, a linked total that does not reconcile. Each one means a rush filing, a penalty risk, or a requisition six months later.
Annabel maps the portfolio on upload, validates every field in real time and runs explainable calculations - lease NPV, linked-transaction logic, reliefs - with the working shown. Two-person approval is built in before anything leaves the building.
Returns file singly or in batch. SDLT5s and UTRNs come back into the record automatically, the payments hub tracks what is due and when, and the AP1 pack is ready for registration without re-keying a single figure.
Portfolio-scale compliance, priced like a product.
SDLT work is precise, rules-driven and relentless - exactly what software should carry. Productising it lets a real estate practice take on portfolio instructions it would once have turned away, at fixed fees that still improve margin.
And because Annabel holds the record - calculations, approvals, filings, payments - the audit trail that clients and regulators ask for is simply there.
