Good news for buyers as the current SDLT rates will remain until 2025
Buyers looking to purchase this year will be pleased to note that the law giving temporary relief on stamp duty, which was introduced in the August mini-budget on 23rd September 2022, has passed through the House of Lords and is ready for Royal Assent.
The law increases the nil rate threshold of stamp duty land tax for all purchases from Ā£125,000 to Ā£250,000 and it increases the nil rate threshold paid by first-time buyers to Ā£425,000. The bill also raises the maximum purchase value for first-time buyers’ relief from Ā£500,000 to Ā£625,000.
What does this mean for buyers?
The reduction in stamp duty, brought in during the Autumn of last year under Liz Trussās short premiership, will help buyers increase their deposit and encourage mobility in the property market. All three measures will stay in place until March 31 2025.
