Stamp Duty Calculator - How much is stamp duty?
Tax is payable when you purchase a property above a certain value. The amounts can be quite significant and you’ll have to factor this into your budget when considering how much deposit you need to buy a house.
The actual name of the tax and the rates applied depend on where you’re buying in the UK, whether you’re a first time buyer and, if not, how many properties you currently own.
