As you may well have heard there has been welcome news regarding stamp duty. With immediate effect there is a new threshold for Stamp Duty of £500,000 which will apply until 31 March 2021. This means any buyer purchasing a primary residential property up to the value of £500,000, will be exempt from paying Stamp Duty. According to a release by the Government the exemption will apply to all primary residential property purchases regardless of whether the purchaser is a first-time buyer or someone who has owned a property before. Stamp Duty only starts being paid on amounts above this figure.
