What is Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)?

SDLT is a tax you pay when purchasing property or land in England or Northern Ireland over a certain threshold.

Rates vary based on property type, buyer status, and ownership structure.

You could be overpaying if:

  • You bought multiple dwellings
  • The property is misclassified as residential instead of mixed-use
  • You missed out on available reliefs like MDR or the 6+ rule
