How much stamp duty will you have to pay when buying a residential property?
Stamp duty is tiered, meaning that you pay different rates on different portions of the property price. You’ll also pay different rates depending on whether you’re a first-time buyer, home mover or buying a buy-to-let, second or holiday home.
The Government’s Stamp Duty Land Tax SDLT calculator can be used for property purchases that are:
- for first-time buyers
- replacing main residence
- additional property
- residential or non-residential
- freehold or leasehold
- for non-UK residents purchasing residential property
The calculator will work out the SDLT payable for most transactions. You should check the Government guidance if:
- you are uncertain about how SDLT applies to your purchase
- if you believe it may qualify for a relief
- for further general information and guidance
