Homes for under £500,000

As the Government announces the Stamp Duty Land Tax Holiday, raising the threshold to £500,000 with immediate effect, the chance for buyers to purchase property exempt of tax is a valuable opportunity. With the initiative in place until 31st March 2021 this is great news for those who were already looking to buy or thinking about their next move.
