Contractors and Freelancers eager to get onto the property ladder have a small window of opportunity to take advantage of the stamp duty break.
The tax break first launched by the labour party was expected to be made permanent by the coalition party. However, the Stamp Duty tax break for properties valued up to £250,000 will be axed from the 24th March 2012.
The first time buyer tax break relates to residential properties up to £250,000 and it means that if you are a genuine first time buyer (i.e. you have never owned a property) then you will not have to pay Stamp Duty tax on your purchase. This saving of up to £2500 is NO small change for first time buyers struggling to get onto the property ladder.
Our mortgage advisers have been put on red alert to prioritise the influx of enquiries from first time buyers eager to beat the tax break deadline. Before making an offer on a property it is vital that you establish first whether the seller is in a chain and whether they will be able to complete the purchase before the stamp duty deadline of 24th March.
