If you’re buying your first home

You can claim a discount (relief) if the property you buy is your first home. You’re eligible if you and anyone else you’re buying with are first-time buyers. The discount you can claim depends on when you purchase the property.

Discount from 1 April 2025

You’ll pay:

no SDLT up to £300,000
5% SDLT on the portion from £300,001 to £500,000

If the price is over £500,000, you cannot claim the relief. Follow the rules for people who’ve bought a home before.

Rates if you’re not a UK resident

If you’re not present in the UK for at least 183 days (6 months) during the 12 months before your purchase you are ‘not a UK resident’ for the purposes of SDLT.

You’ll usually pay a 2% surcharge if you’re buying a residential property in England or Northern Ireland.

You may not have to pay a surcharge on certain properties, transactions or if you’re a particular type of buyer.

Check if you’re eligible for a refund of the surcharge.

If you have to pay the surcharge, you’ll also have to pay any other rates of SDLT that apply, for example:

if you already own a property and you’re buying an additional property
if you’re a first-time buyer
