Buying A Property This Year? Don't Forget The Stamp Duty
As autumn approaches, the end of the stamp duty holiday looms ever closer and those thinking of buying will need to reach a decision of whether to 'use it or lose it'.

London, UK (ePressReleases.org) Sep 29, 2009 - Last year the Government announced that it was raising the 0% stamp duty threshold from £125,000 to £175,000 for a period of 12 months. In April's budget, the holiday was then extended to December 31st 2009.
Anyone looking to buy a home worth between £125,000 and £175,000 could save up to £1,750 in stamp duty if they complete before this deadline. Once the deadline is up, properties worth more than £125,000 will once again face a stamp duty bill of at least 1%.
Any saving made could be valuable to many first time buyers already facing the prospect of having to raise a significant deposit and cover other moving costs. Most mortgage lenders typically require at least a 15% deposit so it is vital to do your homework to get the right mortgage deal
"As house purchases can take months to complete, it's make your mind up time for those considering buying a property. With house prices now holding up more strongly and in some cases rising, the stamp duty holiday could act as a greater incentive as the deadline approaches" commented David Hollingworth, Head of Communications at L&C Mortgages.
