The Conveyancing Association (CA) has announced the appointment of new Affiliate member, SDLT Compass.

SDLT Compass is a bespoke software solution which produces up-to-date Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) calculations for conveyancing firms and mitigates against errors being made.

Chris Ward, managing director of SDLT Compass will be joining the Conveyancing Association’s Legal Members Meeting on 21 October to participate in a ‘SDLT Pitfalls and Solutions’ session.

He will present Conveyancing Association members with the benefits of using SDLT Compass, participating in a Q&A session and will be joined by Edward Donne of Howden, to discuss SDLT issues, claims and how they can be avoided.

Nicky Heathcote, non-executive chair of the Conveyancing Association, said: “We are very pleased to welcome SDLT Compass as the newest Affiliate member of the Association and are looking forward to Chris and his team taking a full part in our events, starting with our next Legal Members’ meeting.

“Stamp duty calculation is an important part of the purchase process to get right and I’m sure our members will be interested to hear about the SDLT Compass proposition and what it is able to offer their firms.”
