Complete your purchase before 31st March 2025 and you could save thousands on stamp duty

Higher stamp duty thresholds are coming to an end, which means you could save up to £6,250* if you move into an Ashberry home before 31st March 2025.

How much can I save?

Under the current holiday, which was introduced in September 2022, there is no stamp duty to pay on homes worth £250,000 or less, as long as you’re buying the home to live in as your only residence and you’ve owned a home before. For first-time buyers, there is an even higher threshold of £425,000 before stamp duty is due.

This means that if you’re a first-time buyer purchasing a new Ashberry home for £425,000, you’ll not pay a penny in stamp duty if you complete your purchase before 31st March 2025. However, if you purchase after this date, your stamp duty payment will be £6,250.

For home-movers looking to purchase a new Ashberry house valued between £250,000 and £925,000 before 31st March, you'll save £2,500. After the deadline, these costs will jump to at least £11,250.

What is stamp duty?

Stamp duty – also known as stamp duty land tax (SDLT) – is a sum of money that is paid to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) upon the purchase of a property, whether it’s a new build or existing home. What you’ll pay, or whether you’ll pay at all, is conditional on the final property purchase price and your status as a buyer.

A stamp duty land tax return must be filed, and any due stamp duty paid within 14 days of completion on your home, and this is typically arranged by your solicitor.
