Stamp duty on a shared equity house..

[graemes75]

My partner and myself are in the process of the buying our first house and have to pay stamp duty on the property. Has anyone else bought a shared equity house recently and could advise me on what are the correct procedures to follow. We are currently planning to buy 69% initially and then hopefully own up to a maximum of 80% in the future.

Due to us not buying the whole house ( £130000 ), does it mean that we don't have to pay for 100% of the stamp duty?

The house is brand new in Scotland. I'm not sure if the rules are different up here

Thanks and hopefully someone can help me out !!
