Stamp Duty Calculator

How has UK Stamp Duty changed since 2014 and changes affecting buy-to-let investors and purchasers of second homes.

Before 2014 a ‘slab structure’ was in place with buyers paying a rate based on the ENTIRE property purchase price. The new rates are now payable only on the PORTION of a property price which falls within each band. As with every tax, there are those who will be better and worse off compared to the previous system. Now from April 1st 2016 a new additional charge of 3% of SDLT on purchases of additional residential property above £40,000 will apply this will affect buy-to-let properties and second homes. For example the nil rate band will increase to 3% and the top slice of SDLT will increase to 15%.

The calculator below will enable you to determine what Stamp Duty will now be payable on your property purchase with and without the additional tax levied on properties that are being purchased either under a buy-to-let scheme or as a second home.

Enter the estimated value of your purchase below and click Calculate.

If you wish to see what effect the additional 3% rate would have, click the check-box and re-calculate.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

All the staff members, particularly Will and Laura, were helpful, considerate and very experienced they couldn’t be more helpful and straightforward I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

Having recently gone through the sale process with Shortland Horne I would firstly like to thank you for a truly professional job from the moment I asked you to take over from Purple Bricks to completion. It was a bad decision thinking that the house would just sell without it being marketed properly and that’s what happened the house was just sat there on the internet being clicked at but no viewings. Once Will and the team got involved we had viewings booked in and sold immediately cracking job and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

First class professional service from all concerned with letting my property. From the marketing to the swift letting of my property. We were initially attracted to how Shortland Horne market properties and they did not disappoint! The marketing was a cut above the rest and they took time in showing off the unique features our property has. I would highly recommend Shortland Horne to any Landlord.

I've been working with Aaron and Shortland Horne for around 6 months now. Letting various residential properties for us. We have listed 6 properties in this time and all went in a matter of weeks at the prices Aaron recommended. I find the team to be professional and work in a timely manner and happy to go the extra yard on things for you. Most importantly they don't cut corners which gives me peace of mind.
