Frequently asked questions -
What are the current stamp duty rates?
Following the changes to Stamp Duty which came in on the 1st April 2025, Stamp Duty is now levied on the amount that you pay for a residential property above £125,000.
What are the higher rates of stamp duty for additional properties?
The 5% higher rate of SDLT for purchases of additional dwellings, such as second homes or buy-to-let properties, is applied on top of the rates set out in the table above.
How much Stamp duty do First Time Buyers pay?
From 1 April 2025 onwards, the reversal of the temporary stamp duty changes introduced in 2022 means that first time buyers pay 0% SDLT on the value of a property under £300,000 and 5% Stamp Duty on the value of the property between £300,001 and £500,000. Properties purchased with a value over £500,000 will not benefit from any first time buyer relief and standard rates will apply on the full value of the property.
New Stamp Duty rates for non-UK residents from 1st April 2021
In July 2020 the UK Government announced draft measures for new rates of Stamp Duty for purchasers of residential property in England and Northern Ireland who are not resident in the United Kingdom.
The new rates are 2 percentage points higher than those that apply to purchases made by UK residents, and apply to purchases of both freehold and leasehold property as well as increasing SDLT payable on rents on the grant of a new lease. The surcharge will be applied in addition to the 5% surcharge currently levied on second/additional home or buy-to-let purchases.
Notes
These rates do not apply to the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) applicable in Scotland since April 2015, please use our LBTT calculator for transactions in Scotland. The Stamp Duty Indicator also presumes that none (or part) of the property qualifies as mixed-use for which the current SDLT would be up to 5%. Importantly, you cannot use the tool for residential properties with chargeable consideration over £500,000 where the 15% rate of SDLT applies. You’ll need to perform a manual calculation instead; your solicitor or tax consultant will be able to advise.
