How this is worked out

LBTT is 0% to £145,000 (£175,000 for first-time buyers), then 2%, 5%, 10% and 12% bands. Second homes pay the 8% Additional Dwelling Supplement on the whole price.

Tips

  • Stamp duty rules differ by nation: SDLT in England and Northern Ireland, LBTT in Scotland and LTT in Wales.
  • Lenders price mortgages in LTV bands, so a slightly bigger deposit can unlock a noticeably lower rate.
  • Always compare the total cost of a mortgage deal including fees, not just the headline rate.
