What is Stamp Duty (SDLT)?
In England and Northern Ireland, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a progressive tax. This means you do not pay a single rate on the total property price; instead, you pay different rates on the portion of the price that falls within each tax band, and then sum them up.
Note: From 1 April 2025, the SDLT threshold for non-first-time buyers has been lowered back to £125,000.

- public Non-UK Residents: Usually pay an additional 2% surcharge on top of the standard rates.
- domain Additional Properties: Buying a second home or buy-to-let property incurs a 5% surcharge (increased from 3% in late 2024).
- schedule Payment Deadline: You must file an SDLT return and pay the tax within 14 days of completion.
