Common questions
How much stamp duty do I pay on a £300,000 house?
A standard buyer in England or Northern Ireland pays £5,000 SDLT on a £300,000 house (£0 on the first £125,000, then 2% on the next £125,000, then 5% on the final £50,000). A first-time buyer pays £0 because £300,000 is the nil-rate threshold. An additional-property buyer pays £20,000 (£5,000 standard plus £15,000 surcharge at 5%). In Scotland, LBTT is £4,600. In Wales, LTT is £4,500.
How much stamp duty do I pay on a £500,000 house?
A standard buyer in England or Northern Ireland pays £15,000 SDLT on a £500,000 house. A first-time buyer pays £10,000 (nil up to £300,000, then 5% on the £200,000 above). This is the cliff edge: at £500,000 FTB relief maxes out, and any price above this removes the relief entirely. In Scotland, LBTT is £23,350. In Wales, LTT is £18,000.
Which UK nation is cheapest for stamp duty?
It depends on the price. Below £225,000 Wales is cheapest because LTT charges 0% on the whole amount, while England and Northern Ireland start charging 2% above £125,000 and Scotland starts at £145,000. Between £225,000 and roughly £350,000 Wales and Scotland stay slightly ahead: at £300,000 the bill is £4,500 in Wales, £4,600 in Scotland and £5,000 in England and Northern Ireland. Above £350,000 England and Northern Ireland are cheapest for standard buyers because the 5% band runs all the way to £925,000, against 7.5% in Wales and 10% in Scotland. Above £1.5 million all three nations charge a 12% top rate.
