Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stamp Duty Land Tax in United Kingdom?

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is payable when buying property in United Kingdom over £250,000 (£425,000 for first-time buyers). Rates: 0% up to £250,000, 5% on £250,001-£925,000, 10% on £925,001-£1.5M, and 12% above £1.5M. An additional 3% surcharge applies to second homes and buy-to-let properties.

What is the average mortgage rate in United Kingdom?

Mortgage rates in United Kingdom vary by loan-to-value (LTV) and product type. As of 2025-2026, 2-year fixed rates range from 4.5-6.0%, 5-year fixes from 4.2-5.5%, and standard variable rates (SVR) from 7.5-8.5%. Rates are influenced by the Bank of England base rate, currently 5.0%.

How much can I borrow for a mortgage in United Kingdom?

Most lenders in United Kingdom offer 4-4.5x your gross annual income (or joint income). Some offer up to 5-6x for higher earners or certain professions (e.g., doctors, accountants). You typically need at least a 5-10% deposit, with better rates available for 25%+ deposits. The Mortgage Affordability Test ensures your monthly payments are sustainable.

What costs are included in monthly mortgage payments in United Kingdom?

Monthly mortgage payments in United Kingdom include principal and interest on the loan. VAT at 20% does not apply to property transactions in the UK, but costs include buildings insurance (mandatory), life insurance (recommended), and potentially service charges or ground rent for leasehold properties. Council Tax is a separate local government charge.

Should I choose a fixed-rate or tracker mortgage?

A fixed-rate mortgage locks your interest rate for 2, 3, 5, or 10 years, providing payment certainty. A tracker mortgage follows the Bank of England base rate plus a set margin, which can be cheaper initially but carries risk if rates rise. Fixed rates provide stability, which most borrowers prefer given recent rate volatility.

How does the Lifetime ISA help with home buying in United Kingdom?

The Lifetime ISA lets you save £4,000 per year for a first home (up to £450,000) or retirement. The government adds a 25% bonus each year (up to £1,000). Funds must be held for 12+ months before purchase. You can also access the Lifetime ISA for retirement at age 60.

What is Help to Buy and does it still exist?

The Help to Buy equity loan scheme (where the government lent up to 40% for new builds) closed for new applications in March 2023. Alternatives include Shared Ownership (buy 25-75% of a home and pay rent on the remainder), the Lifetime ISA, and the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme (95% LTV mortgages).
