Stamp duty This is the biggest cost of moving, a tax you pay on any property you buy in the UK. The tax is based on the price of the property you are buying, and is staggered in thresholds. For example, you pay 2 per cent of a property's value on properties priced between PS125,001 and PS250,000; 5 per cent on properties worth between PS250,001 and PS925,000; 10 per cent on properties worth PS925,001 to PS1.5 million.
