SDLT on the average Newcastle upon Tyne home
The average Newcastle upon Tyne home costs £207,936 (ONS / HM Land Registry UK House Price Index, December 2025). On that price:

Band breakdown for a home mover at £207,936
| Slice of price | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| £0–£125,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £125,000–£207,936 | 2% | £1,659 |
SDLT is charged slice-by-slice, like income tax — each portion of the price within a band is taxed at that band’s rate, so the top rate never applies to the whole price.
SDLT bands (England & Northern Ireland, from 1 April 2025)
| Portion of price | SDLT rate |
|---|---|
| Up to £125,000 | 0% |

| £925,000 to £1,500,000 | 10% |
| Above £1,500,000 | 12% |
First-time buyers (price up to £500,000): 0% up to £300,000, then 5% on £300,001–£500,000. Above £500,000 the relief is lost and standard rates apply to the whole price.
Additional property (second home / buy-to-let): a 5-percentage-point surcharge is added to every band for purchases on or after 31 October 2024 (bands become 5/7/10/15/17%).
