What is Stamp Duty?

Stamp Duty is a tax paid to government when buying a new home. If you are in Scotland, it will be Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and in Wales it will be Land Transaction Tax (LTT). If you are in England or Northern Ireland, it will be called Stamp Duty. Stamp Duty is calculated based on the value of the property you’re buying.

How do I calculate my Stamp Duty payment?

Use our Stamp Duty Calculator to work out how much Stamp Duty you’ll need to pay. We take into account the region you’re buying in, the price of your property, and whether you’re a first time buyer, or if this is a second home. You’ll instantly be given a breakdown of how much Stamp Duty you’ll pay.

Buy to Let and Second Home Stamp Duty Calculation

If you’re buying a second home, or a home to let out to others, you will pay a higher rate of Stamp Duty. Our calculator can work this out for you. If you are buying your next home first, but intend to sell your current home in the future (within 3 years), you will pay a higher rate of Stamp Duty now, but can reclaim the difference when you sell your home.

When do I pay Stamp Duty?

Stamp Duty needs to be paid within 14 days of completion on your new home. It is likely that your conveyancing solicitor or licensed conveyancer will be responsible for transferring your payment to the appropriate body (HMRC, etc). You will probably be required to pay this amount when you pay your conveyancing fees.
