What if I am a First-Time Buyer?

In England and Northern Ireland, you will pay no SDLT on properties worth up to £300,000. For properties up to £500,000, you will pay no SDLT on the first £300,000 but will then pay 5% on the remaining amount. If the property you’re buying is worth over £500,000, you will need to pay the standard rates of Stamp Duty and won’t qualify for first-time buyer’s relief.
