Example: If you buy a house for £275,000, the Buy to let Stamp Duty Rate you owe is calculated as follows:

  • 3% on the first £125,000 = £3,750
  • 5% on the next £125,000 = £6,250
  • 8% on the final £25,000 = £2,000
  • Total SDLT = £12,000


Stamp Duty does not apply to you if you are selling your home, but it may be worth taking it into consideration on behalf of your potential buyers. 

If your property is valued at £250,000 your buyer would need to find an extra £10,000 on top of the purchase price to cover the buy to let stamp duty tax.
