💡 London Stamp Duty note: SDLT applies from £250,001 for standard buyers (5% on the portion above £250k). First-time buyers have a higher exempt threshold of £425,000. Use our Stamp Duty Calculator to estimate your liability.
The vast majority of London properties — especially flats — are leasehold. This adds management pack reviews, lease reading, service charge checks, and freeholder consent requirements.
London property prices are significantly higher than the UK average. This increases Stamp Duty liability and means your solicitor needs experience with higher-value transactions.
London property chains are often longer and more complex, with more buyers, sellers, and lenders involved. This requires experienced solicitors who can manage multiple parties efficiently.
