                Buy To Let Stamp Duty Changes – 1st April 2016

                In his Autumn Statement, Chancellor George Osborne announced unexpectedly that Stamp Duty for buy-to-let investors would rise from 1 April 2016.

                Stamp Duty Changes

                For all second homes and buy-to-let investments valued over £40,000 in England and Wales, a new 3% Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) surcharge will be payable on top of the current progressive stamp duty.

                SDLT 2

                The change in SDLT emphasises the government’s pledge to boost property supply and stimulate demand from first time buyers.

                How Will The Rise Affect Buy-To-Let Investors?

                There are several points buy to let investors should bear in mind;

                • The property market in the UK has seen a 211% growth over the last 20 years, and this growth is projected to keep increasing in the future. In London, where property prices have climbed 446% over 20 years, the additional 3% SDLT surcharge becomes even less significant.
                • With interest rates predicted to stay at rock bottom the likelihood is that the housing market will maintain a stable growth rate over the coming years.
                • Growing gulf between supply and demand in the property market will remain for a long while, the Chancellors pledge to attempt to stimulate house-building efforts across the country is a long-term goal that will not impact the buy-to-let market for a long time.
                • The precedent from past SDLT reforms would suggest that those who exchange before 1 April but complete after that date would be exempt. This issue will be clarified in the consultation process, which we will report on accordingly.
                • UK Stamp Duty is still significantly less than other popular global markets, which can be as high as 10-15%.

                While these new announcements might make investors with a short-term exit strategy a bit nervous, overall the buy-to-let property market will remain stable and continue to grow. Investment in the buy to let property market will continue to be a popular option for those looking to supplement their income or branch into the profession. The Chancellor has pointed out that the funds will be used as a method of stabilising the national housing market, and this is good news for long-term buy-to-let investors.
