The surcharge that catches people out
If you will still own another residential property worth £40,000 or more anywhere in the world after you buy, the additional property surcharge usually applies. On the £410,000 benchmark that adds £20,500, taking the bill to £31,000.
It catches people mid move, when the old home has not sold. You can usually reclaim the surcharge if you sell the previous main residence within the time limit. Budget for it anyway.
Local prices sit under the £500,000 relief ceiling, so first time buyers here keep the benefit. That is worth real money against neighbouring areas.
Where it sits in your cash pile
Stamp duty of £10,500 sits alongside a 10% deposit of £41,000 and legal and survey fees. Together that is roughly £54,000 before you own anything.
Rates are those in force from April 2025. Thresholds change with fiscal events, so confirm the current position on gov.uk before you exchange.
