Part 4· 3 steps
Identify the relevant stamp duty bracket for a purchase price of K300 000.
The purchase price of K300 000 falls into the bracket "K251 000 to K500 000".
Apply the stamp duty formula for this bracket.
The formula is K2 500 + K3.50 per K100 for the amount over K250 000.
Amount over K250 000 = K300 000 - K250 000 = K50 000.
Stamp duty on the excess amount = .Calculate the total stamp duty.
Total stamp duty = K2 500 (base amount) + K1750 (excess amount) = K4250.
The stamp duty payable is K4250.
Part 5
Identify the relevant stamp duty bracket for a purchase price of K510 000.
The purchase price of K510 000 falls into the bracket "Over K500 000".
Apply the stamp duty formula for this bracket.
The formula is K11 250 + K3.75 per K100 for the amount over K500 000.
Amount over K500 000 = K510 000 - K500 000 = K10 000.
Stamp duty on the excess amount = .Calculate the total stamp duty.
Total stamp duty = K11 250 (base amount) + K375 (excess amount) = K11 625.
The stamp duty payable is K11 625.
Part 6
Calculate the stamp duty on the purchase price.
Purchase price = K240 000. This falls into the "Up to K250 000" bracket.
Stamp duty on purchase = .Calculate the stamp duty on the loan amount.
Loan amount = K195 000. Assuming the same stamp duty rates apply to the loan, this falls into the "Up to K250 000" bracket.
Stamp duty on loan = .Sum all the fees and charges.
Bank fees = K600 (application) + K200 (valuation) + K300 (settlement) = K1100.
Solicitor fee = K650.
Total cost = Bank fees + Solicitor fee + Stamp duty on purchase + Stamp duty on loan.
Total cost = K1100 + K650 + K2400 + K1950 = K6100.
Ritchie's total cost on fees and charges is K6100.
