What you would pay in Coombe
On the £6,000,000 benchmark, standard residential stamp duty is £633,750. It is due within 14 days of completion.
First time buyer relief brings it to £633,750 at this price. At this price the relief makes no difference, because the property is above the ceiling where it applies.
Local prices sit above the first time buyer relief ceiling of £500,000, so relief will not help on a typical purchase here. That is a real disadvantage for first buyers in this area.
