Estimate stamp duty on a second home

Your second home stamp duty questions answered
What does a second home stamp duty calculator show?
A second home stamp duty calculator estimates how much Stamp Duty Land Tax you may need to pay when buying an additional residential property in England or Northern Ireland.
It can help you understand how the higher rates for additional properties may affect your upfront budget.
Do you pay extra stamp duty on a second home?
Usually, yes. If you already own a property and buy another residential property, higher stamp duty rates may apply.
This can include second homes, holiday homes and some additional residential purchases.
Does second home stamp duty apply if I am replacing my main home?
If you are replacing your main residence, the higher rates may not apply in the same way.
However, if you buy a new main home before selling your previous one, you may initially pay the higher rate and later be able to claim a refund if you sell the previous main home within the required timeframe.
Does this calculator apply across the whole UK?
No. Stamp Duty Land Tax applies in England and Northern Ireland.
Scotland uses Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, while Wales uses Land Transaction Tax. The rules, thresholds and rates are different in each country.
Can second home stamp duty affect my mortgage plans?
Yes. Stamp duty is an upfront cost, so it can affect how much cash you have available for your deposit, legal fees and wider buying costs.
If the stamp duty bill is higher than expected, you may need to adjust your property budget, deposit or mortgage amount.
Is a second home mortgage different from a normal mortgage?
It can be. Lenders may look closely at your income, existing mortgage, ongoing commitments, deposit and how you plan to use the property.
A second home mortgage is usually assessed differently from buying your main home, especially if you will keep your existing property.
Your results are for guidance only
Your results are for guidance only and are based on the information you enter. They are not a mortgage offer, approval in principle, tax advice or financial advice.
Your actual stamp duty position may depend on the property price, location, buyer status, ownership position, whether you are replacing your main residence and wider circumstances.
Muttuo Mortgages does not provide tax or legal advice. You should confirm your stamp duty position with your solicitor, conveyancer or a qualified tax adviser before completing a property purchase.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with repayments on your mortgage.
