Write For Us: Guest Posts on UK Property & Stamp Duty

Calculate My Stamp Duty UK publishes guest posts from property professionals, solicitors, accountants, tax specialists, and experienced writers. We cover UK real estate and UK property tax only. If your topic sits outside that, this is not the right site for it.

Why Guest Post Here

Author Byline

Every accepted article includes a full author bio with a link to your website or LinkedIn profile.

Engaged Audience

Reach thousands of UK property buyers, landlords, first-time buyers, and industry professionals each month.

Evergreen Exposure

Well-written pieces stay indexed and drive consistent traffic to your byline for years.

Topics We Accept

We publish original guest posts on UK real estate and UK property tax. This is the complete list of what we take:

  • UK Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), Scotland LBTT, and Wales LTT: rules, rate changes, and worked examples
  • UK first-time buyer property purchase: LISA, Help to Buy, shared ownership, and how each interacts with stamp duty
  • UK buy-to-let and property investment: additional dwelling surcharge, portfolio strategy, limited company vs personal ownership
  • UK property transactions: conveyancing, transfer of equity, divorce, inheritance, probate, and gifting
  • UK mortgages, affordability, and deposit strategy, where the piece connects back to the cost of buying a property
  • Reliefs and exemptions: MDR, non-residential, mixed-use, first-time buyer relief, and overpayment refunds
  • UK regional property market analysis, case law, HMRC guidance interpretations, and Budget or policy commentary affecting property tax

Every piece must be about the UK market and must tie back to buying, owning, transferring, or taxing UK property. If your idea is not on this list, we will not publish it.

What We Don't Accept

Anything outside the accepted topics above. We only publish what is on that list. Random, general, or loosely related pitches are declined without review, however well written they are.

  • Non-UK property or overseas real estate markets
  • General finance, crypto, insurance, business, marketing, technology, or lifestyle topics, including pieces that mention UK property only in passing
  • Content previously published elsewhere (including your own blog or Medium)
  • Thinly-disguised promotional copy for a product or service
  • AI-generated drafts without substantial human expertise and editing
  • Pieces with casino, loan, pharma, or unrelated niche backlinks
  • Content offering direct personal tax or legal advice without qualification disclaimers
  • Affiliate-heavy or lead-generation pieces (one relevant reference is fine)

Submission Guidelines

Length & Depth

1,200–2,500 words for standard pieces. Longer deep-dives welcome if the topic warrants it. Every claim should be supported by a GOV.UK, HMRC, Revenue Scotland, or Welsh Revenue Authority source.

Structure

Use clear H2/H3 headings, worked examples with real numbers, and short paragraphs. Tables are welcome for rate comparisons. Include a short introduction and a clear takeaway.

Originality

100% original, never published elsewhere. You retain authorship credit but grant us a non-exclusive licence to publish and syndicate.

Links

One contextual link to your own site or LinkedIn is permitted in the author bio. In-body links must be to authoritative sources (GOV.UK, HMRC, academic, or recognised industry publications).

Tone

Clear, practical, British English. Explain jargon. Write as if helping a first-time buyer who is smart but new to the subject.
