What a first Hampton Hill purchase costs in cash
On the local average the deposit is £80,000, stamp duty is £30,000 and fees are near £3,300. Total cash needed is about £113,300.
The £800,000 average is above the £500,000 ceiling, so first time buyer relief does not apply. Stamp duty is the full £30,000. Rates are those in force from April 2025. Confirm the current position on gov.uk before you exchange.
Average prices above £500,000 mean first time buyer relief does not apply on a typical purchase here. Budget the full duty from the start.
