The government has announced a stamp duty holiday that will run until 31st March next year.
What does this mean for you?
Previously, you would have paid stamp duty on homes sold for at least £125,000, or if you were a first-time buyer, on properties sold for more than £300,000.
Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, has now raised this threshold to £500,000 giving fresh hope that the summer housing market is going to be a busy one.
This change will have a substantial impact and in effect means that nine out of 10 people buying a main home between now and the end of March 2021 will pay no stamp duty at all, and the average stamp duty bill will fall by £4,500.
