Hi
I'm a first time buyer and I'm hoping someone can answer my query? I've saved up for the 5% deposit required for the mortgage lender and I've also got the cash for the solicitor's fees but I may be a bit short for the stamp duty. Are you able to pay stamp duty on a credit card?

Your solicitor will need to make sure it is paid (so he will actually pay it using money provided by you) in order to register the transfer to you, because this will be required by your mortgage lender. It is therefore more about whether your solicitor will take payment by credit card, which is unlikely for items like SDLT.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
