Stamp Duty on a £675,000 House (2026/27)
Buying a £675,000 home in England or Northern Ireland costs £23,750 in Stamp Duty Land Tax for a home mover.
| Buyer | England and N. Ireland (SDLT) | Scotland (LBTT) | Wales (LTT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home mover | £23,750 | £40,850 | £31,125 |
| First-time buyer | £23,750 | £40,250 | £31,125 |
| Second home or buy-to-let | £57,500 | £94,850 | £64,325 |
First-time buyer relief is not available above £500,000, so the standard rate applies. Wales has no first-time buyer relief, so first-time buyers pay the standard Welsh rates. Scotland's first-time buyer figure uses the £175,000 relief band.

Second homes and buy-to-let
In England and Northern Ireland, buying an additional home adds a 5% surcharge to every band, so £675,000 costs £57,500 instead of £23,750. In Scotland the Additional Dwelling Supplement is 8% of the whole price (£54,000 here). In Wales higher rates apply to every band.
