The changes to stamp duty in 2003 meant that purchasers no longer had to submit documents providing details of the purchase to the Stamp Office for stamping. Instead their solictor, or licensed conveyancer asks them to sign a Land Transaction Return form, which has all the information on.

But the new form was far more complex than the previous document and was designed to crackdown on people claiming to pay more for fixtures and fittings, therefore bringing the cost of the home below a threshold.

Instead of the previous Particulars Delivered form, a single page asking for the names and addresses of parties, location of the property and price paid, the new form introduced was six pages long and has 70 questions. It must be sent to the Inland Revenue, and the Land Registry will not register ownership until it has a certificate from the Revenue that the form has been received.

Stamp Duty Land Tax was introduced in December 2003 and replaces the old stamp duty on purchases of flats, houses and other land and buildings. It is a percentage paid on the purchase of a home or non-residential property, graded into bands.

The bands for the tax year 2010/2011 are 0% paid at 0 – £125,000, 1% paid on properties costing between £125,000 and £250,000, 3% between £250,000 and £500,000 and 4% for more than £500,000.

The bands were changed in the 2010 Budget. First-time buyers can secure a two-year temporary stamp duty relief up to £250,000, from 25 March 2010.

A new 5% threshold above £1m was introduced from 6 April 2011.

If the property you are purchasing is over £250,000 then you could be eligable to save up to 75% on your stamp duty payment. Fill our contact form and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
