FAQs
Are these rates current?
The calculator uses GOV.UK residential SDLT thresholds and rates from 1 April 2025. Always verify before exchange because tax rules can change.

Does MyPropertyScan give tax advice?

How MyPropertyScan produces this guide, and what it is not
Published by MyPropertyScan and written by Ziad Nasr, who is accountable for its accuracy. No page here is written or reviewed by a chartered surveyor, conveyancer or regulated adviser, and we do not claim otherwise.
This page is not:
- Chartered surveying — we do not inspect properties or produce RICS Home Survey reports
- Legal advice — we do not act as conveyancers or advise on title, tenure or contracts
- Mortgage or insurance advice — we are not regulated by the FCA and give no recommendations
Figures and process steps come from published UK datasets and standards, not from professional practice. Pages are updated when source coverage, survey cost assumptions, or lender and legal requirements materially change. Dataset limitations are set out on the methodology page.

Estimates only. Not tax, legal, mortgage, insurance or surveying advice. Confirm exact costs with your conveyancer, lender and surveyor before exchange.
