First-time buyer? Read this
There is no first-time buyer relief at this price in England & NI — relief cuts off at £500,000, so you pay the standard rate. Scotland still gives its (capped) relief, worth up to £600.
Second home or buy-to-let?
Buying a £750,000 second home in England adds the 5% additional-dwelling surcharge on top of every band — that’s why the figure jumps to £65,000. In Scotland the 8% Additional Dwelling Supplement applies to the full price (£108,350 total). Wales uses a separate, higher rate table (£73,700).
