What is Stamp Duty?
You normally have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (often called just stamp duty) on your purchase if the property costs over a certain price. This can add thousands of pounds to your upfront purchasing costs, so it’s vital to factor it in early. For standard residential home movers, you’ll start paying stamp duty on properties costing more than £125,000, and the rate increases progressively in line with the value of the home.
The great news is that if you are an eligible first-time buyer, you qualify for relief and won’t pay a single penny of stamp duty on properties costing up to £300,000, with a discounted rate available up to £500,000. It’s also worth noting that these rules apply to England and Northern Ireland, if you are buying a property in Scotland, you will pay Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), and if you’re buying in Wales, you will pay Land Transaction Tax (LTT) instead.
