Stamp Duty Calculator
What level of Stamp Duty should you be paying? Use our Stamp Duty calculator tool to calculate the stamp duty charged on purchases of property in the UK.
Stamp duty rates (SLDT) on UK property transactions are linked to the price paid for a purchase.
Stamp duty is calculated over a number of different thresholds with clear delineation between the differing rates and is payable by the purchaser when buying a property, usually through the solicitor on completion of sale.
The rates for commercial property are different to residential and our calculator will offer guidance on residential property only.
A first time buyer is classified as someone who has never owned a residential property abroad or in the UK. Including leasehold properties. First time buyers cannot get stamp duty relief on buy-to-let properties and the purchase must be your only residence.
For first time buyers, a change to the stamp duty means that anyone buying their first home won't be liable for stamp duty if the purchase price is below £300,000.
Further relief is available for purchases up to £500,000 to help first time buyers in more expensive locations such as London.
Please note that our calculator factors in the location of the property and will calculate the first time buyer relief at £500,000.
In the 2015 autumn statement, the chancellor George Osborne announced that from April 2016 the SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) would increase on any purchase of a second property.
The tax is applied to properties bought as a second home or a buy-to-let and will apply even if the property isn't let out. However mobile homes, houseboats and caravans are classed as exempt. For most transactions the higher stamp duty will only apply to purchases of buy-to-let or second homes.
Someone who already owns a second home or buy-to-let, who plans to move house should also be exempt from the higher stamp duty rate, as the owner plans to replace their main residence.
Tenant Fees
Prospective tenants interested in renting a property through Hanover will need to be aware of the following pre-tenancy costs due prior to the commencement of a tenancy:
Administration Charge:
A sum of £195 (inc VAT) for the preparation of paperwork.
Credit Reference Charges:
£50 (inc VAT) per tenant/guarantor to cover the cost of the referencing application.
Reservation Fee:
Equivalent to two weeks rent. These funds are deductible from the first month's rental should the tenancy proceed.
Security Deposit:
Prior to the tenancy, you will be required to pay a minimum of six weeks' security deposit.
Renewal Agreement Fee:
The Applicant will be liable for an administration charge of £60 (inc VAT) for the preparation of any documents in relation to each and every renewal or extension of the tenancy.
Inventory & Cleaning Costs:
The inventory costs are normally split equally between the Tenant and the Landlord and may vary dependent on the size of the property. Post-tenancy cleaning fees are usually paid by the tenant.

Politico uncritically reports Huckabee's "anti-religious" nonsense on economic recovery plan
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
As Washington Monthly's Steve Benen notes, former Arkansas Governor and current Fox News host Mike "Huckabee doesn't know what he's talking about."
Perhaps Politico should have taken that into consideration before uncritically repeating Huckabee's false claim that the economic recovery package is "anti-religious." Though the provision Huckabee cited is correct -- the bill would not provide money to be used on a religious "school or department of divinity" -- Politico did not note that, contrary to Huckabee's suggestion that this provision is a consequence of the liberal trifecta of Pelosi-Reid-Obama, such provisions were included in bills passed when the Republicans were in the majority, as Media Matters has noted.
Benen continues:
Look, if Mike Huckabee doesn't like the stimulus bill, fine. But to tell people the legislation is "anti-religious" is just insane. Or, to put it another way, Huckabee is bearing false witness, which as he may have heard, is generally frowned upon.
Regular readers know the story by now, but if you're just joining us, this myth has been making the rounds in right-wing circles for about a week. Originally, the American Center for Law and Justice, a right-wing legal group formed by TV preacher Pat Robertson, said the stimulus bill includes a provision that would prohibit "religious groups and organizations from using" buildings on college campuses. Soon after, religious right groups and right-wing blogs were up in arms, demanding that lawmakers fix the "anti-Christian" language of the bill. Fox News and the Christian Broadcasting Network helped get the word out to the far-right base about the nefarious measure. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) actually tried to have the provision removed from the bill.
There was, however, one small problem: there was no such measure. The ACLJ doesn't know how to read legislation, and didn't realize that the standard language in the bill simply blocks spending for on-campus buildings that are used primarily for religion (like a chapel, for example). This same language has been part of education spending bills for 46 years. It's just the law, and it's never been controversial.
More on this issue: Fox promotes falsehood that provision in recovery bill would prohibit any religious activity in facilities receiving money

Saved! How HIV Gave Joyce McDonald a New Life
By Myles Helfand
JOYCE MCDONALD IS NOT your average amazing woman.
If you heard Joyce's story second-hand, you might have a hard time believing it. How could a woman recovering from a 25-year bout with drug addiction -- and living with AIDS and hepatitis C -- become a prolific artist and AIDS activist?
But to meet Joyce McDonald is to believe in not only who she was, but in who she has become. She is an extraordinarily multitalented woman -- 55 years old, she sculpts, paints, speaks and writes about her life and HIV, whenever she's not busy coordinating her church's AIDS ministry. She's also a loving mother and grandmother. Her sculptures -- moments of stirring, tortured emotion captured in clay -- have been exhibited throughout the world, from her church in Brooklyn to East Africa, where slides of her work were displayed to HIV-positive artists in Uganda.
Joyce's open acceptance of her status has, in many ways, helped set her free. It has not only allowed her to confront the demons of her past; it's given her a whole new sense of purpose. She is -- by God's choosing, she says -- one of few people in her Brooklyn housing project ever to publicly discuss her HIV status. In the early 1990s, she said, many people there "believe[d] that if you find out you're HIV positive you've gotta hide." Joyce feels it is her responsibility to give something back; to help others who weren't lucky enough to get the kind of family support she had when she was diagnosed. "I know a lot of stories where people were feeding their [HIV-positive] family members with cups outside their door," she says, "or telling them, 'You can't live here.' Young people I've been working with are sometimes just reduced to crying." Thanks to people like Joyce -- and her pastor at The Church of the Open Door, Rev. Dr. Mark V. C. Taylor, himself an advocate in the fight against AIDS -- those attitudes have significantly shifted over the last decade.
Over the past ten years, Joyce has become a public advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness all over New York City. She holds art shows throughout the year and regularly spends time with hospitalized HIV-positive patients (who she calls her "sisters and brothers") through her church's AIDS Ministry, of which she has recently become the coordinator. She has written a book about her life, entitled Between the Pages, and is considering whether to take the next step and publish it.
Joyce shares her life story, in both prose and verse form, at churches and gatherings throughout New York City. She has a video of herself in which she stands in front of a large church congregation, her eyes closed, swaying slowly as if pushed by a gentle breeze. In the background, a hymn-like melody can be heard, a tune that lingers long after it ends. Joyce's deep, powerful voice echoes through the church as she sings.
My family loved me
But there was nothing they could do
Because Satan was holding me around my ankles
He said, "Joyce McDonald, I got you!"
He tried to make me wanna die
I cut my wrists many times
But I know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
He came right on time
Joyce slides from verse to verse, tracing her life from childhood through the present. When she finishes -- with a fervent, rapid-fire repetition of "Hallelujah!" and "Thank you, Jesus!" -- the congregation erupts in cheers and applause. Joyce stops swaying, opens her eyes, and breaks into a huge, exhausted smile.
Moments like these make Joyce the magnetic and inspiring person she is. She insists, however, that all the credit go elsewhere: to Jesus Christ, her family, her pastor and the people she's met since her diagnosis. The sheer courage of some of the hospital patients she's visited with her AIDS ministry, she says, inspires her even more to continue her work. "I go there to give people comfort, but they don't know: They comfort me."
Prayer of Hope
Despite 23 years pock-marked with rapes, abusive relationships, prostitution, two daughters born addicted to drugs, and her own long descent into addiction following her father's untimely death, Joyce displays a surprising inner calm. Joyce is well-dressed, her black hair broken only by a single streak of silver running down the left side of her head. To hear her tell her story -- or sing it -- is to begin to understand how a woman could have turned such a seemingly hopeless life into a source of such hope for others.
Some might credit her inner strength; some might credit luck. If you ask Joyce, though, Jesus is the key -- and it's that feeling more than anything that has shaped her return to the world and the remarkable work she now does.
As Joyce sees it, her pivotal moment came slightly more than 13 years ago.
"It was Sunday, November 1993," Joyce begins, squinting a little as though trying to focus on something far away. "I was waiting for the drug dealer on York Street in the [Brooklyn housing] project where I live at. My mother had gone to church, and I was waiting for the drug dealer to come out with the heroin, when I heard a voice in my spirit."
The voice told her to go to church -- something Joyce hadn't done in more than 30 years. She laughed to herself; she had heard voices in her head before. This one, though, was different. "Now I know this voice was God," Joyce says. "And I remember laughing and saying, 'Go to church?' And I went back upstairs and shot up the heroin."
She doesn't remember much of what happened after injecting the heroin: doesn't remember changing her clothes, doesn't remember walking to the church she had attended every Sunday with her family when she was a child. All she remembers is being inside that church, then upstairs in its sanctuary, then Reverend Taylor's call to the altar: "Anyone who wants to change your life, come up and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart." Before she even realized what had happened -- and to the shock of her mother, who was at the service -- Joyce had walked up to the altar, recited the prayer of confession, and received salvation.
Beginning the Fall
One of seven siblings growing up in the 1960s with her parents in Brooklyn's Farragut housing project, life wasn't easy, but Joyce was happy. Her mother, who spent her days at home, is a religious, emotional woman who used her love as a blanket with which to protect her children. Her father -- a self-taught tailor, cobbler and philosopher who spent 30 loyal years working for the U.S. Postal Service and who Joyce idolizes -- did all he could to lay open to his four sons and three daughters the possibilities outside their housing project's borders.

Lessons from The Wall (I)
Lesson (1)
From my earliest days of tree climbing (starting age 9) it had always been assumed that the formal documents were correct. Especially government records that had found their ways into court houses and such places. One such record was the 1840 census of Kentucky.
One of my early brick walls was trying to find the JONES family that connected my family tree to Virginia. I had found that Nicholas Jones (my direct line) had first come into Kentucky from Virginia in 1811. Thus, any one who had been born in Kentucky before this date would not be directly connected to my family tree. One such fellow was a Thomas Jones who had been born in 1796. In this 1840 census, he was listed as being born in Kentucky. Thus, his parents (at least mother) would have come to Kentucky before 1811. Therefore, I assumed he could not be a son of my Nicholas (b. 1762) who was not in Kentucky until much later. So, I spent roughly ten years checking every other JONES family in Clark County, KY convinced this Thomas was correctly eliminated. It was not until I had eliminated every other JONES family that I checked the 1850 census to find that it listed this Thomas Jones as being born in Virginia! What! In one census it had listed him being born in KY (1840), and in another census (1850) being born in (VA). It just so happened that the luck of the draw, I found the 1840 census before the 1850 census. This error did allow me to work through all the JONES families in Clark County before the 1870 census, but it sure did make me realize that not all "official" records were error free!
Ten years...can you believe it? Lesson (I) = don't trust everything you read...especially census records!
2 comments:
One of the errors I accepted because so many others also accepted it, was a census that listed a teenage daughter who didn't appear in any other census. After several years I went over that census again - maybe with my glasses on? - and saw that she was listed as married as was a son who's name was listed after her. I finally realized that she was a young daughter-in-law and that her name had been garbled. Written as Candacy, but I believe her to be Miranda C. And I just went along because all the other trees I had seen for this family had her listed as a daughter based on this one record.ReplyDelete
Hey Kathy, thanks for sharing, some good tree climbing there! It is often much easier to accept other family trees without checking them for yourself. Census records also include the folks that might have been living with the "head of household" including married sons and daughters, hired farmhands, workers, or other related family members on the maternal side of things. They may also include parents or even grandparents. There may also be two or more families living in the same household during the time that the census was taken.ReplyDelete

Comments about Super Foam® Camp Journal Craft Kit:
I made one craft ahead of time for an example. This was fun and it looked great. I know we will be using the back of the pages for drawing pictures or extra thoughts. I suggest adding a small piece of tape to the end of the cord like a shoelace tip to make it easier to thread the cord through the holes. I can't wait to hear and see what they will share from their journals. Happy camping!!

I think this is the Peach Tree, i'll have to check it out when I return.
Got this from Willis Orchard.
Seems bigger.
this has sort of established itself now. Its now quite a dominant tree but it seems to be growing at a reasonable rate.
Sadly this appears to be sulking now. Its still alive but its not done much and its leaves are grim looking. On a positive note, the cuttings I took from the stem I accidently cut down appear to be still alive, or at least 1 of them and maybe 2. I think one is definatly dead, but the green one with a leaf would not be green with a leaf if there was no root activity. You can just make out the cuttings in the pot behind the Jalapino.
Find it hard to look at this one. In the course of weeding I accidently chopped off all its new growth!!! You can see it in the pot where im trying to get it to root!!! Thats so depressing as I take extra care not to do that. What fooled me was that it was really green and coming from the unseen undergrowth. Oh well, at least its healthy, hopefully it will continue to grow.
Planted it in winter 2010.

The Vancouver Canucks announced today that Manny Malhotra will not return this season, or for the playoffs after suffering a severe eye injury.
While this loss is no doubt a big one for the Canucks and their fans, there is no one affected more than Manny himself. We thought it would be a nice gesture for fans to leave a comment here giving thanks to Manny for his efforts this year and to offer words of encouragement and hope for a full and speedy recovery.
So, this post is nothing more than that, a get well card for Manny. Please spread the word and leave your thoughts and wishes!
Hopefully we get a ton of comments here, and I'll print them off and forward them to the Canucks and in return Manny.
