Your overseas home buyer stamp duty questions answered
What does an overseas home buyer stamp duty calculator show?
An overseas home buyer stamp duty calculator estimates how much Stamp Duty Land Tax may apply when a non-UK resident buys residential property in England or Northern Ireland.
It can help you understand how the non-UK resident surcharge may affect your upfront buying budget.
Do overseas buyers pay more stamp duty?
In many cases, yes. Non-UK residents buying residential property in England or Northern Ireland may pay a 2% surcharge on top of the standard SDLT rates. The surcharge can also sit on top of the higher rates for additional properties where those rules apply.
Does overseas buyer stamp duty 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.
What makes someone a non-UK resident for stamp duty?
Residency for stamp duty is not always the same as general tax residency or nationality.
For SDLT, individual buyers may be treated as UK resident if they are present in the UK for at least 183 days during a relevant 365-day period around the purchase. If the surcharge is paid and the residency position later changes, a refund may be possible in some circumstances.
Can overseas buyer 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 other buying costs.
If the tax bill is higher than expected, you may need to adjust your deposit, property budget or mortgage amount.
Can I get a UK mortgage as an overseas buyer?
It may be possible, but lender criteria can be more specific.
Lenders may look at your residency status, income currency, visa position, deposit size, credit profile, UK bank account position and how you plan to use the property.
