Property transactions in Cardiff — and the rest of Wales — are taxed under Land Transaction Tax (LTT) rather than the Stamp Duty Land Tax charged in England, set and collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority. Make sure any quote you're comparing reflects LTT, not SDLT, disbursements.
When you compare quotes for a move in Cardiff, every firm on the panel shows its legal fee, VAT and disbursements as separate line items — never folded into one bundled number — so you can see exactly what you're paying for before you instruct anyone. If Land Transaction Tax applies to your purchase, the Welsh Revenue Authority's current bands are 0% up to £225,000, 6% up to £400,000, 7.5% up to £750,000, 10% up to £1,500,000, and 12% above that. Wales has no first-time buyer relief, so these rates apply regardless of buyer type. Whether you're buying, selling, doing both at once, or remortgaging in Cardiff, the same itemised comparison applies — and the free LTT calculator can give you a rough figure to budget for before you commit to a firm, with no obligation to instruct anyone.
Every firm on the comparison is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, wherever in the country they're based.
