-
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax you must pay when you buy property or land in England or Northern Ireland above a certain price. As an overseas investor, you’ll typically pay standard UK rates plus a 2% non-resident surcharge on residential property purchases. The amount depends on the property value and type - residential, commercial, or mixed-use.
-
Yes. If you're not a UK resident, you’ll pay an additional 2% surcharge on top of the standard SDLT rates for residential property purchases. This applies even if you already own property abroad or are buying through a company based outside the UK.
-
The 2% surcharge was introduced to level the playing field between domestic and overseas buyers and to help manage demand in the UK property market. SDLT also contributes to public services in the UK.
-
No. SDLT must be paid as a lump sum within 14 days of completing the purchase. It’s not typically included in your mortgage. However, some international lenders may allow you to borrow more to cover your SDLT costs - this depends on the lender’s terms and your financial profile.
-
You are responsible for paying SDLT, but in most cases, your UK solicitor or conveyancer will calculate and pay it on your behalf as part of the legal process.
-
You must pay SDLT within 14 days of the completion of your property purchase. Your solicitor will typically manage this process for you, but the payment is your legal responsibility.
-
While overseas investors are not eligible for first-time buyer relief, you might reduce SDLT costs by:
Investing in mixed-use or commercial properties (lower rates)
Purchasing property below SDLT thresholds
Structuring the purchase efficiently (e.g., via a UK-registered company or trust, with expert advice)
We recommend speaking to a UK tax advisor to explore legal, compliant strategies to minimise your liability.
-
Yes. As of 1 April 2025, SDLT rates have been updated, including changes that affect overseas buyers. Use our updated Stamp Duty Calculator to get an instant, accurate estimate of what you’ll owe - based on your residency, purchase type, and property value.
