Questions about Welsh LTT

Does SDLT apply to a property in Wales?

No. Welsh property transactions use Land Transaction Tax, administered by the Welsh Revenue Authority.

Can higher rates be decided from one buyer only?

Not always. The circumstances of every buyer and certain connected persons can matter, so the conveyancer should confirm the treatment.
