Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
This depends on the purchase price of your property. You can calculate the amount of SDLT you will need to pay by using HMRC's website.

If the property you are purchasing is a Leasehold property there will be additional costs. These vary depending on the terms of the Lease but as a guide can include:

• Notice of Transfer fee
• Notice of Charge fee (if the property is to be mortgaged)
• Deed of Covenant fee
• Certificate of Compliance fee

We can give you an accurate figure for the above fees that apply to your purchase once we have sight of your specific documents.

You should also be aware that ground rent and service charge are likely to apply throughout your ownership of the property. We will confirm the ground rent and the anticipated service charge as soon as this we receive this information.
