Northern Ireland Specifics
Same Rates as England
Northern Ireland uses the same SDLT rates and thresholds as England. The calculation method, nil-rate threshold, and tiered rates are all the same.
No Separate System
Unlike Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT), Northern Ireland does not have its own devolved stamp duty system. SDLT is UK-wide legislation.
Belfast Market Context
Northern Ireland's property market is centered around Belfast and major urban areas. Property prices and transaction volumes are typically lower than other UK regions, affecting average SDLT bills.
Important Notes for NI Buyers
- • Same SDLT rules: All UK SDLT rates, thresholds, and reliefs apply to Northern Ireland.
- • 5% surcharge: Additional property surcharge of 5% applies to second homes and buy-to-lets in NI, just as in England.
- • 14-day payment window: SDLT must be paid within 14 days of completion. Your solicitor or conveyancer will handle this payment.
- • Professional advice: Property tax laws can be complex. Consider using a solicitor experienced in Northern Ireland transactions for guidance specific to your situation.
