Residence is not nationality: a foreign citizen living in the UK buys as a resident, and a UK citizen living abroad as a non-resident. The count is of purchases paying the non-resident surcharge on stamp duty land tax, which applies in England and Northern Ireland only. HMRC stopped publishing it each quarter after March 2025, so the report ends there.
