We just wanted a property tax site that didn't suck

Why this site exists

Every time we needed a quick property tax figure — what's the stamp duty on this house, how much will conveyancing cost, what can I actually afford to borrow — we'd end up on a site buried in banner ads, cookie walls, newsletter signups and sponsored content pretending to be impartial advice.

The actual answer was always three scrolls down, behind a "Download our free guide" button.

So we built this. A set of free calculators using official HMRC rates, no login required, no email address needed, no nonsense. You land on the page, you get the answer, you leave. That's it.

What we actually do

• ✓Pull the latest rates from HMRC and GOV.UK — stamp duty brackets, first-time buyer thresholds, additional property surcharges, the lot.
• ✓Build calculators that do the maths correctly, show their working, and update when the rules change.
• ✓Write plain English explanations of what the numbers mean — without turning it into a 3,000-word SEO article about nothing.
• ✓Keep the pages fast and clean. No tracking scripts that slow everything down. No autoplay videos.

What we don't do

• ✗Give personal financial or legal advice. We're not solicitors and we're not regulated by the FCA. Use our calculators as a starting point, not a final answer.
• ✗Pretend our numbers are guaranteed. SDLT is complicated, everyone's situation is different, and edge cases exist. If you're completing a property purchase, always verify with your solicitor.
• ✗Sell your data. We're not building an audience to monetise later. The cookie banner is there because the law requires it.

The rates are current, but check before you rely on them

We update the site after every Budget and when HMRC changes SDLT thresholds. The rates shown are correct to the best of our knowledge for 2025/26 — always cross-check against GOV.UK if something important is riding on the number.

Got a question or spotted an error?

If a calculator is giving a wrong result, or the rates are out of date, we genuinely want to know. Drop us a message on the contact page and we'll look into it. We'd rather fix a mistake than have thousands of people get the wrong answer.

We're not a big team with a ticketing system. We'll get back to you when we can.
