Does her statement say they specialise in this? Might just have been conveyancers

That tells you which firm created the trust for the Ashton home, not which did the conveyancing for the Hove home - though if it was the same firm they should have flagged this It would be expensive to use Shoosmiths to buy a flat. Although cheaper than getting a tax KC to clean up afterwards

She got a bleedin' good deal if she got all of this lot for £800K.

From the Daily Mail (a newspaper): Conservatives have already called for an inquiry into claims Ms Rayner avoided £40,000 in stamp duty by telling the taxman that her new £800,000 property in Hove (pictured) was her main home. Ms Rayner paid about £30,000 in stamp duty on the Hove apartment

It is the conveyance lawyer that takes the various money in, pay the to stamp duty and the vendor etc. one of issues is they aren't the sharpest lawyers if do mainly house sales
