What is stamp duty?
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax paid when you buy a property or land in England or Northern Ireland over a certain price. How much you pay depends on the purchase price, whether it’s your only home, and whether you’re a first-time buyer.
Current SDLT rates for residential property (from April 2025)
| Tax Band | Standard Rate | Additional Property Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Up to £125k | 0% | 5% |
| £125k to £250k | 2% | 7% |
| £250k to £925k | 5% | 10% |
| £925k to £1.5m | 10% | 15% |
