Stamp duty on a £575,000 house in England

A home mover buying a £575,000 property in England pays £18,750 (3.26% of the price). First-time buyer relief doesn't apply because the price is over £500,000, so a first-time buyer pays the same £18,750. Buying it as a second home or buy-to-let costs £47,500.

What this means for you

The top £325,000 of the price falls in the 5% band, which accounts for £16,250 of the £18,750 total.
The next band starts at £925,000, £350,000 above this price. Every extra £1,000 you pay up to then adds £50 of SDLT.
At this price first-time buyer relief is lost altogether, because it only applies up to £500,000.
A second home or buy-to-let pays 5% extra on the whole price, so £28,750 more than a home mover.
