Developments

Yes, investors do pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on their investment properties and do not face any exemptions. This is also applicable if you’re purchasing the apartment through a limited company. If you’re purchasing through a limited company or as a second home, the higher rate of stamp duty usually applies. The exact amount of stamp duty depends on the value of the property, and also if you have other properties in your portfolio. When deciding on an investment property opportunity, ensure you have accounted for all costs, including stamp duty charges, so you will not have any unexpected fees that arise.

You will have a clear understanding of all upfront costs prior to committing to your investment property. We offer free consultations, so we can provide you with tailored information regarding what level of stamp duty you may expect to pay on the opportunity that interests you most. Otherwise, you can utilise our stamp duty calculator to gauge a clearer picture for yourself.
