Stamp Duty

You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land that falls within certain price ranges in England.

As of the 1st April 2025, there are some significant changes to Stamp Duty charges, for more information, please check the government guidance here.

If the property is in Wales the tax is different and you will pay Land Transaction Tax (LTT).

The amount of tax you will have to pay depends upon whether the property is for residential or non-residential/mixed use.

If you are buying a residential property there are different rates of SDLT if:

• You are a First Time Buyer
• You already own a property and are buying an additional property
• You are not a UK resident

From time-to-time things arise within a conveyancing transaction that are not clear at the outset and will require additional work from your conveyancer or you may require an additional service not covered by the initial quotation. We have prepared a menu pricing that detail the potential which can be viewed here.
