When you buy a property the change in land ownership has to be legally registered at the Land Registry. This process requires a certificate from the HMRC – which they will only issue on receipt of the stamp duty due on the purchase of the property.
If you purchase before 31st March 2025: For homes over £250,000 there is no stamp duty to pay on the first £250,000, then the following rates apply:
Purchase Price | Stamp Duty % |
£0 to £250,000 | 0% (Zero) |
£250,001 to £925,000 | 5% |
£925,001 to £1,500,000 | 10% |
Over £1,500,000 | 12% |
