Updated to show rates from 1st April 2025
Stamp Duty Land Tax (or SDLT) is a tax you pay when purchasing a property or piece of land in England or Northern Ireland (in Wales, there is a similar tax known as the ‘Land Transaction Tax’). The name dates back to the 1600s, where legal documents were embossed with large physical ‘stamps’ – though nowadays it is all dealt with electronically.
The amount of SDLT you pay is calculated based on the full purchase price of the property, and is charged on any transaction regardless of if you are buying with a mortgage or not. The tax payable is worked out upon completion, so will be based on the final amount you pay for the property, subject to any further negotiations you might make following your initial offer.
There are three different rates at which the tax is calculated, which are broken down below. The rate that applies in your case will depend upon your circumstances and our New Business Team are here to help if you are unsure.

Mrs C, SheffieldConveyancing services
We recently dealt with Jade Cody in relation to the sale of our home and purchase of new property. The service we received was outstanding. Any questions we had were answered promptly and the whole process was made seem less and as stress free as possible by Jade. At no point did we feel that they were too busy to deal with our matters and we were kept up to date regularly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Banner Jones for conveyancing services.(Conveyancing in Sheffield)

Mr & Mrs T, SheffieldFirst time property investor
Tim Barley and his team, have been excellent throughout. The entire process has gone seamlessly. We were particularly impressed with how Banner Jones gave us a weekly update and communicated with our estate agents and mortgage broker. We never felt out the loop and we didn't have to chase for information. There is no doubt that we will use Tim at Banner Jones for our next investment. We have already recommended Banner Jones (Tim) to another investor for their next purchase.
