Stamp Duty

Discover all you need to know about Stamp Duty and how much you may need to pay when purchasing your new home.

What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp Duty Land Tax, often referred to as SDLT or Stamp Duty, is a tax due on all property purchases, new or pre-owned, in England. If you are buying a residential property, there are different rates of SDLT if you are a first time buyer, are buying an additional property or are not a UK resident.

The SDLT threshold for residential properties is £125,000. If you buy a property for less than the threshold, there's no SDLT to pay.

Tax rates differ between England and Wales. You must pay Land Transaction Tax (LTT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price threshold in Wales. The LTT threshold is at £225,000 for residential properties (if you do not own another property).

Rates on your first home

First-time buyers do not pay Stamp Duty on the first £300,000 of their home. Therefore, if you buy your first home for less than this, you will not pay any Stamp Duty.

If you buy your home for between £300,001 and £500,000, you’ll only pay 5% on that portion of the purchase price.

Rates on a second home

Don't forget if you’re purchasing a second home or have the intention of renting your newly-purchased property out, then higher rates of Stamp Duty are typically imposed. This usually means that an extra rate of 5% is added to the standard Stamp Duty tax bands.
