Disadvantaged Areas in Pembrokeshire

Around 2,000 wards nationwide are eligible for stamp duty relief. These are based on electoral divisions and local government wards. Pembrokeshire residential property under £150,000 within one of these areas is exempt from stamp duty. Normal rates of stamp duty apply for purchases greater than £150k. A postcode search will usually determine whether a home being sold for less than the threshold is eligible. 'Mixed use' property, including a shop with an apartment above, may also receive stamp duty relief.
