    When/how is LPT paid when buying a new build house? Do you Pay the full amount or partial? It's the one facet of the process I can't seem to find much about.

    New and previously unused properties purchased from a builder or developer between 1 January 2013 and 31 October 2019 are exempt until the end of 2019 (even if sold again in that period).

    What about existing properties? I'm in the middle of buying, sale to complete next month...when do I need to pay LPT?

    In an existing property, I'm pretty sure the vendor has to pay LPT.

    Your Solicitor will know about this. I sold a property in 2018 and had to pay LPT up to a certain date & provide a receipt to the purchasers Solicitor as evidence. Unfortunately I can't remember to what date I had to prepay.

    It is definitely something your Solicitor will attend to and when you do register you can pay monthly.
