Stamp Duty Reforms Welcomed by Home buyers

Home buyers are already seeing the benefits of the recent changes in stamp duty, with many buyers paying far less than before.

An average property in Calderdale or Kirklees at a price of £150,000 now attracts stamp duty of £500 rather than the figure of £1,500 which applied before the changes. The savings are enabling buyers to put the saving towards other costs incurred in moving home.
