Selling or buying a home with our Widnes Conveyancing Solicitors
Widnes is an industrial town in Cheshire and was historically classed as being in Lancashire – it's on the north bank of the River Mersey. Its development from being a fairly small settlement was marked after John Hutchinson established a chemical factory in Spike Island in the later period of the Industrial Revolution and the town is still associated with chemical manufacture although much of its employment is now given over to the service sector. The industrial jobs created in its Victorian expansion were frequently filled by Polish, Irish and Lithuanian immigrant labour.
Landmarks and attractions include the Grade II listed Silver Jubilee Bridge to Runcorn, opened in 1961, Victoria Promenade at West Bank, Spike Island (now an open recreation area which leads to footpaths along the former towpath of the Sankey Canal and the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre. It is of course also particularly known for its Widnes Viking Rugby League Football Club, which has won numerous pieces of silverware, both nationally and internationally, over the years.

How do I find out how much stamp duty I have to pay?
You always have to complete a stamp duty declaration to HMRC whenever you buy a home and this will be done on your behalf by your solicitor.
If the home you've bought is (or will be after you've sold your existing only home) your only home and primary residence and the price of your new home exceeds £125,000; you have to pay stamp duty, initially at 2% of the value exceeding £125,000.
If the home you've bought is a second home, you have to pay stamp duty on it if the value exceeds £40,000. For values ranging between £40,000 to £125,000, you have to pay stamp duty at 3% of the amount exceeding £40,000.
For property values exceeding £125,000, you additionally have to pay stamp duty of 5% of the value exceeding £125,000.
The higher the buying price, the higher the percentage of stamp duty you will pay. The next band covers buying prices ranging between £925,001 and £1.5 million and the stamp duty rates are 5% and 8% respectively.
