What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax you might have to pay if you buy a property in England or Northern Ireland but you’ll only have to pay it if the house you’re buying is over a certain price. If you’re buying a residential property or piece of land in England or Northern Ireland, you’ll have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if your purchase is over the threshold of £125,000.
Eligible first-time buyers will pay no Stamp Duty on properties costing up to £300,000, and a discounted rate on property purchases up to £500,000.
Stamp Duty rates changed on 1 April 2025.
Our Stamp Duty calculator lets you know the amount of tax you’ll be liable to pay. It’ll work out how much Stamp Duty you’ll owe, whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, or buying an additional property.
