SDLT Disadvantaged areas relief

In some areas properties are exempt from stamp duty. Your solicitor should tell you about this but you can check yourself and confirm with them whether the property you’re buying is exempt.

Disadvantaged Areas Relief applies to:
residential property transactions where the amount paid (or the value of any other ‘consideration’) is £150,000 or less
the residential element of ‘mixed use’ (business and residential) property transactions – for example where a shop and a flat above it are bought together and the amount given for the flat is £150,000 or less
