Stamp Duty Calculator
If you’re buying a residential property or piece of land in England or Northern Ireland, you’ll have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if your purchase is over the threshold of £250,000.
Stamp Duty rates as announced in the mini-budget on 23 September 2022 will remain the same until 31 March 2025.
The amount you pay is based on Stamp Duty bands. The tax is calculated on the part of the property price falling in each band.
Our Stamp Duty calculator lets you know the amount of tax you’ll be liable to pay. It’ll work out how much Stamp Duty you’ll owe, whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, or buying an additional property.
Calculate Your SDLT
Mortgage Calculator
A mortgage is one of the biggest commitments you’ll make in your financial life. But with so many different deals and options available, it can be difficult to work out which would cost you the least. Our mortgage calculator helps, by showing what you’ll pay each month to provide and insight on what you budget can stretch to for your house purchase or remortgage.
Use our mortgage calculators to work out how much you could borrow and how much deposit you need for a mortgage.
- See how much you could afford to borrow
- Work out what your monthly payments might be
- Check how an interest rate change could affect you

Panel List
What is a lender panel? Simply put, a lenders panel is a list of solicitors a mortgage lender has approved to work with. If you are using a mortgage to purchase a property, or taking out a re-mortgage on a property you already own, it is important to make sure that the conveyancing firm you instruct for the legal work is named on your mortgage lender’s list of approved conveyancers.
