Does 125k exemption apply
Annex G isn't clear (for me at least) on the following:
Owner occupier buying a new house above 125sq m. As per bleary they "are liable to stamp duty on the greater of the site value or 25% of the property value (excluding VAT)
at the standard rates, thresholds and exemption."
But does this mean that the 125k exemption applies to those people who's stamp duty was based on greater of 1/4 of house value vs value of land? I.e. do they benefit? I have a brother in law buying in this category. Would love to tell him good news but its not very clear to me so don't want to blurt anything out that's not true.

This seems to apply to new properties too and also to investment properties from my reading
These tables relate to the standard residential Stamp Duty regime. First-time purchasers of all residential property and other owner-occupying purchasers of new residential property under 125m2 are
exempt from stamp duty. Other owner-occupying purchasers of new residential property over 125m2 are liable to stamp duty on the greater of the site value or 25% of the property value (excluding VAT)
at the standard rates, thresholds and exemption.
Residential property is defined as a building or part of a building which at
the date the deed is signed was used or was suitable for use as a dwelling.
