Additional-property stamp duty can materially change the cash needed to complete. Use an estimate early and confirm the position with a conveyancer or tax adviser.

Calculator outputs are estimates only. They do not confirm lender acceptance, product availability, rates, fees or suitability.

This page is written as a calculator companion: use it to choose sensible inputs, compare scenarios and understand the limits of an estimate.

What to check before relying on the estimate

  • Select the additional-property option when using the stamp duty calculator.
  • Check whether replacement-main-residence rules could apply to your situation.
  • Remember that Scotland and Wales use different property tax systems.

When an adviser review may help

A mortgage adviser or broker partner can compare your circumstances with lender criteria and explain any fees before you decide whether to proceed. This website provides general information and calculator tools; it provides general information only and does not make regulated mortgage recommendations.

Request a callback if you want an adviser or broker partner to discuss your circumstances and the checks that may apply before any application.

Keep the estimate realistic

Use current balances, evidenced income, realistic property values and cautious rate assumptions. If a result looks affordable only under one optimistic assumption, run a second scenario before making plans.

Frequently asked questions

Does every second property pay the surcharge? +
Not always. The rules depend on ownership, residence replacement and timing. Take tax or conveyancing guidance.
