Stamp Duty

[crapmemory]

I'm trying to convince my husband to move while the stamp duty is 0% for properties up to £500,000. Can anyone tell me what the stamp duty was before this? TIA

Zero on the first £125,000 (or part thereof)
2% on the next £125,000 (or part thereof)
5% on the next £675,000 (or part thereof)
(with higher rates above that but they're not relevant to your question)
