10/07/20Stamp Duty Holiday
The announcement by the Chancellor confirming a temporary Stamp Duty holiday will be welcomed by everyone planning a move!
The policy comes into effect immediately and will be in place until 31 March 2021. This means that nearly nine out of 10 people buying a main home which completes before that date will pay no Stamp Duty at all!
The new rates are as follows :
| Property or lease premium or transfer value | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £500,000 | Zero |
| The next £425,000 (the portion from £500,001 to £925,000) | 5% |
| The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) | 10% |
| The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) | 12% |
There is a helpful calculator on the Government website here so that you can calculate the Stamp Duty you will now pay.
If you are buying your main home and it is priced under £500,000 you will pay absolutely NO stamp duty!
With the exception of the four bedroom properties at Priors Orchard in Southbourne you can now buy one of our beautiful new homes and pay NO stamp duty during the stamp duty holiday!
On the four-bedroom Goodwood home currently available you would previously have paid £24,497 in stamp duty – during the stamp duty holiday this will reduce to £9,497 – a saving of £15,000!
Anyone purchasing an additional property will also benefit from the stamp duty holiday and the new rates are shown below:
| Property or lease premium or transfer value | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £500,000 | 3% |
| The next £425,000 (the portion from £500,001 to £925,000) | 8% |
| The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) | 13% |
| The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) | 15% |
