Stamp Duty - You pay stamp duty at these rates if, after buying the property, it is the only residential property you own. You usually pay 3% on top of these rates if you own another residential property.
Property Stamp Duty Rates
Up to £250,000 Zero
The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) 5%
The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) 10%
The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) 12%
Example:
In November 2023 you buy a house for £295,000. The Stamp Duty you owe will be calculated as follows:
0% on the first £250,000 = £0
5% on the final £45,000 = £2,250
total SDLT = £2,250

IF YOU'RE BUYING YOUR FIRST HOME
You can claim a discount (relief) if the property you buy is your first home. This means you'll pay:
Zero Stamp Duty up to £425,000
5% Stamp Duty on the portion from £425,001 to £625,000
You're eligible if you and anyone else you're buying with are first-time buyers.
If the price is over £625,000, you cannot claim the relief.
Example:
You are a first-time buyer and purchase a property for £500,000. The Stamp Duty you owe will be calculated as:
0% on the first £425,000 = £0
5% on the remaining £75,000 = £3,750
Total Stamp Duty = £3,750
It is recommended buyers check Stamp Duty rates for their particular situation on the Government website.
