📢 NO JOKES! New Stamp Duty Changes Are Now in Effect! 🏡
As of today, April 1st, 2025, new Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) rules are live — and they could impact buyers across the UK.
Here’s what’s changed:
🔹 Standard Buyers:
You’ll now pay 2% SDLT on property purchases over £125,000 (down from the old £250K threshold).
🔹 First-Time Buyers:
The tax-free threshold has dropped to £300,000, with 5% due between £300K–£500K.
(Previously, you could buy up to £425K without paying a penny.)
🔹 Additional Properties:
The 3% surcharge remains in place for second homes and buy-to-lets.
💰Example:
Buying at £295,000? You’ll now pay £4,750 in SDLT — that’s £2,500 more than before April 1st!
If you’re planning to buy in 2025, it’s more important than ever to budget for these new tax rates — and get tailored advice before you make a move.
