Buyer FAQs.

Find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions buyers have when finding a property for sale. If you don’t see the answer to your property buying query below, please get in touch.

Which areas of north London do you cover?

Our offices are situated in Bounds Green and Haringey, but we also cover the Wood Green, Hornsey, Harringay, Alexandra Palace, Tottenham, Arnos Grove, Bowes Park, Southgate, New Southgate, Palmers Green and Friern Barnet areas of north London.

Do I need a mortgage in principle to start viewing properties?

While it isn’t required it is definitely advisable to help speed up your house buying process. It gives you a clear indication of what is affordable and the fact that you have a mortgage agreed in principle is also attractive to sellers.

How much Stamp Duty will I pay?

You must pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) if you buy a property or land over a certain price in England. This tax applies to both freehold and leasehold properties, whether you’re buying outright or with a mortgage.

The current SDLT threshold for residential properties is £250,000. If you buy a property for less than this threshold there is no SDLT to pay, unless you are purchasing as a buy-to-let or second home, where different rates apply.

Above the £250,000 threshold there are graduated bands of SDLT rates. You can calculate how much Stamp Duty you will have to pay using the government Stamp Duty Calculator.

First-time buyers

If you and anyone else you’re purchasing with are first-time buyers and the property is £625,000 or under, you should qualify for a discount:

  • You will pay no stamp duty at all up to £425,000
  • And 5% on the portion from £425,001 to £625,000

However, if the property price is over £625,000 you cannot claim the discount and you will follow the same Stamp Duty rules as those who have bought a home before.
