Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in England is charged in bands, so you pay different rates on different portions of the price. First-time buyers pay nothing on the first £300,000 (on purchases up to £500,000), and an additional property usually carries a surcharge.

This calculator covers England. Scotland and Wales have their own systems. Tax rules change, so always confirm the current position before you commit.

in all the years we have used Spolton Mortgages, we have used them for A new mortgage, renewal and insurances. Nick is super thorough and always has our best interests and needs at the forefront. He takes the time to understand exactly what we are after, our concerns or requests and uses that to get us the best deal possible. Nick is super friendly and can feel at ease when around him. he makes what can be a super anxious time easy. Yes, completely. He has over the years managed to get us some top deals and will ensure he has exhausted all possibilities to get the best deal for us! I honestly don't think he can do anything better. He cant control rates!!
