Stamp Duties and Transfer Fees
The stamp duties payable on contracts are 0.15% of the value of the property up to €170.860 and 20% for over €170.861.
The property transfer fees are payable to the Land Registry and are calculated to the property's market value:
Value of Property C£ Transfer fee Rate
Up to 85.430 3%
From 85.431 - 170.860 5%
From over - 170.861 8%
If the owners are two or more, each owners share starts with the above scale, so there is a substantial saving if the sale price is quite high.
