Stamp Duty and costs on a Sheffield purchase
Take an illustrative £300,000 purchase in Sheffield. Stamp Duty Land Tax on non-residential property is charged in slices:
| Slice of the price | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| First £150,000 | 0% | £0 |
| £150,001 to £250,000 | 2% | £2,000 |
| £250,001 to £300,000 | 5% | £2,500 |
| Total | £4,500 |
GOV.UK says the return and payment are due within 14 days of completion, so the £4,500 belongs in the cash plan from the start.

Not in our panel data: 10 commercial mortgage providers, none of which exclude S. Providers look at the building, its valuation and the trading business that will repay.
