    Assuming in the UK - you are not REPLACING a main home, so full bang second home you pay. There are calculators online for that
  • Thanks for the replies.

    Property value- 430k 
    Country of purchase - UK

    I've tried a number of calculators and getting conflicting results.

    Country of purchase - UK

    I was getting at which of the nations within the UK, given that England/NI, Scotland and Wales each have different tax systems and rates.

    OP does not say whether Applicant A and Applicant B have sold / disposed of another property / properties which they lived in as their only or main residence within the last three years.  Depending on the details, that might mean the extra 3% SDLT (as OP is buying in England) would not apply.
