Full property tax guideAbout Stamp Duty Land Tax
Stamp Duty Land Tax applies to all property purchases in England and Northern Ireland above £250,000 (or any price for additional properties). It must be paid and a return submitted within 14 days of completion.
First-time buyers get relief: 0% on properties up to £425,000, then 5% on the portion between £425,001 and £625,000. Above £625,000, standard rates apply even for first-time buyers.
Buying a second home or investment property attracts an additional 5% surcharge on top of standard rates across all bands. This applies if you will own two or more residential properties after completion.
