Notes

The stamp duty calculator presumes that none (or part) of the property qualifies as mixed-use for which the current SDLT would be 3%.

Please note that this tool is an indicator only, your solicitor or tax consultant will advise you as to the actual stamp duty land tax that must be paid on completion.

All calculations are correct as of 1st October 2021, which are subject to change at any time
