The amount you pay depends on: • when you bought the property • how much you paid for it • whether you’re eligible for relief or an exemption Rates for a single property You pay SDLT at these rates if, after buying the property, it is the only residential property you own.
You will usually pay 5% on top of these rates if you own another residential property.
