Commercial & mixed-use (non-residential) rates
These apply to wholly commercial property and to mixed-use (semi-commercial) property such as a shop with a flat above. They are the same whether you buy personally or through a company.
| Portion of the price | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £150,000 | 0% |
| £150,001 to £250,000 | 2% |
| Above £250,000 | 5% |
Standard residential rates (your only or main home)
These apply when the property is your only home, or you are replacing your main residence. They are charged on the portion of the price that falls in each band.
| Portion of the price | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | 0% |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | 2% |
| £250,001 to £925,000 | 5% |
| £925,001 to £1.5m | 10% |
| Above £1.5m | 12% |
Additional property (second home or buy-to-let)
If you are buying an additional residential property, a second home, or a buy-to-let you will keep alongside another property, a 5% surcharge is added to every band. A buy-to-let bought in a personal name counts as an additional property.
| Portion of the price | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | 5% |
| £125,001 to £250,000 | 7% |
| £250,001 to £925,000 | 10% |
| £925,001 to £1.5m | 15% |
| Above £1.5m | 17% |
First-time buyer relief
First-time buyers pay no SDLT up to £300,000 and 5% on the portion from £300,001 to £500,000. The relief is not available on purchases over £500,000.
Limited company residential purchases
A company buying residential property normally pays the higher additional-property rates. Where a single dwelling costs more than £500,000, a flat higher rate can apply to the whole price unless a relief such as property-rental-business relief is available. Commercial and mixed-use property bought through a company uses the non-residential rates above.
