First Time Buyers

A first time buyer is defined as an individual or individuals who have never owned an interest in a residential property in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in the world and who intends to occupy the property as their main residence.

First time buyers can claim a discount (relief) if the property you buy is your first home, and the value is up to £625,000. This means you'll pay:

  • no SDLT up to £425,000
  • 5% SDLT on the portion from £425,001 to £625,000

If the price is over £625,000, you cannot claim the relief. Follow the rules for Existing owners.
