Stamp Duty

When you buy a property you will usually have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax.

The amount you pay depends on the how much you buy the property for, when you buy it, how many properties you own and whether you are eligible for any relief or exemption.

If you are a first time buyer (or if it’s a joint purchase you are both first time buyers) then there is a discount as long as the purchase price is under a certain limit.

There are lots of factors to work out what stamp duty you may need to pay.  We find the best way to get a correct calculation is to use the Stamp Duty Land Tax Calculator on the Government’s website.  This will ask you all the relevant questions and will give you an accurate price.
