Stamp duty: What is it, how much is it and how is it changing?
At the moment, buyers of homes worth less than £250,000 don’t pay stamp duty. This was doubled from £125,000 under Liz Truss’s mini-Budget in September 2022.
The threshold is £425,000 for those buying their first property. This was raised from £300,000 as part of the mini-Budget.
These higher thresholds will end in March 2025, when they are expected to revert to previous levels.
