No property selling at £200,000 would be exempt from Stamp Duty.
I know that a lot of people/developers sell properties with 'Stamp Duty Paid' but they would not be exempt

As I understand it all houses in the 4 priority wards are exempt. I know 3 people who have bought in Barnfield, £250,000, £215,000 & £145,000 and none has paid Stamp Duty. I know the Chancellor has had a buget [maybe 2] since the last one so you might have more upto date infor than me but it was the case last year or thereabouts there was a full exemption just in the four wards.
