Stamp Duty Guide
Everything you need to understand before you calculate your own figure.
Understand the bands
Stamp Duty is charged progressively — only the portion of the price in each band is taxed at that band's rate.
Identify your buyer type
First-time buyer, home mover, additional property, or company purchase — each has its own rules.
Confirm your property type
Residential and commercial purchases sit on entirely separate rate tables.
Run the calculation
Use the calculator on the homepage to get an instant, banded estimate.
Confirm with a professional
Always verify your final figure with a solicitor or conveyancer before completion.
