Property Value Stamp duty rate
Up to £125,000 Zero
The next £125,000 (the portion from £125,001 to £250,000) 2%

Stamp Duty rates for buying a second property in Doncaster

Where the purchase of the property results in you owning 2 or more properties, and you are not replacing your main residence (by way of, for example, sale), then higher rates of stamp duty will probably apply. This can be also true where a spouse or civil partner owns an interest in a property, even if they are not a party to the transaction. Where this is the case then an additional 3% tax becomes payable where the purchase price is over £39,999.99. So the new tax brackets are as follows:

Property Value Additional Property
Stamp duty rate
Up to £125,000 3%
The next £125,000 (the portion from £125,001 to £250,000) 5%
The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) 8%
The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5m) 13%
The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5m) 15%

It should be noted that an interest in a property anywhere in the world, not just in Doncaster, should be taken in to account.
