Hi, not sure if this is in the right forum but here goes.
We’re in the process of purchasing an infill site that that is being sold by a company. The site is zoned for residential and we are building our primary home on it. Our solicitor has informed us that we’ll be paying a 4% stamp duty rate. I looked it up the regs stated a 7% but I thought it would be charged at the residential rate if it was being bought for residential use.
Don't lump all random internet punters in the same basket, many, including the above two posters, have more than proven their credentials over the years.
Thanks, had seen it on citizens advice originally, I was just thinking about what our Solicitor had mentioned and they definitely said 4% so not sure where that’s coming from, at any rate we’ll be building a single dwelling house; transfer of deeds still have not taken place as of yet.
