Which Stamp Duty for new residential property?
I have a scenario in which I would like to know if the normal or extra stamp duty (second home or buy to let) thresholds will apply.
Currently I have a small number of rented out properties. One of which I have lived in for some periods of time (circa 3 years or more) before I have rented it out.
I am considering going away for a year and will likely rent out my existing residential property.
When I come back I may be looking to purchase a new property as my main residential residence. Will this be subject to the normal stamp duty fees or the ‘second home’ fees. I would appreciate some clarification.
Thank you
Raj
