The percentage that you owe then increases in relation to the value of the property thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>There is an exception for first time buyers, who only have to pay Stamp Duty on properties worth over \u00a3300,000.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there is an additional charge for those buying an additional property without replacing their current one, meaning they will own more than one property.
