Hatfield Stamp Duty Relief

Disadvantaged areas relief may be available for property bought in around 2,000 locations across the country. Areas designated are identified by local government ward or electoral divisions. These wards do not always coincide with postcode districts, so the postcode search tool cannot always be relied on. If it is thought that a property is in a disadvantaged area, but an online search does not confirm this, it may be necessary to make further enquiries with the local council. A postcode search will usually determine whether a home being sold for less than the threshold is eligible.
