Stamp Duty Land Tax On The Granny Annexe

Many people are buying properties that have a granny annexe or separate area that can be used for family members. Usually, this would be for an elderly relative who can no longer be fully independent, but what Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is due?

Unsurprisingly, this is a complicated area. On top of the normal SDLT due, there are two additional factors that should be considered:

Of course, the answer is dependent on the individual situation, but there are things that need to be taken into consideration. For example, is the property which includes the granny annexe actually two separate properties? If so, an additional 3% of SDLT is due on the entire purchase price of both properties.

There are specific exemptions though for something like a granny annexe so it could be that you only pay standard SDLT in some cases. It really is best to ask your tax advisor should you be considering purchasing a property that has a granny annexe.
