When do I pay stamp duty?

Stamp duty must be paid within 14 days of completion. Your solicitor typically handles this as part of the conveyancing process.

Do first time buyers pay stamp duty?

First time buyers pay no stamp duty on properties up to £425,000, and a reduced rate on properties up to £625,000. Above £625,000, standard rates apply.

What about the additional property surcharge?

If you own another property (including buy to let), you'll pay an additional 5% surcharge on top of the standard rates. This applies to the entire purchase price.
