Stamp Duty Land Tax Cuts

The chancellor announces a cut to the Stamp Duty Land tax in England and Northern Ireland.

The cut raises the threshold of how much a property has to cost before stamp duty is paid to £250,000.

First time buyers currently pay no stamp duty on the first £300,000, that will be raised to £425,000.

The Chancellor announced on Friday 23rd September 2022, "And we’re going to increase the value of the property on which first-time buyers can claim relief, from £500,000 to £625,000. The steps we’ve taken today mean 200,000 more people will be taken out of paying stamp duty altogether. This is a permanent cut to stamp duty, effective from today."

"excellent in executing the conveyancing for me in the buying and selling of houses. Always keeping me informed of progress and effective in dealing with snags, I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Thank you so much for providing us with such a swift and efficient service for the second time. You have been invaluable in making the transaction of both properties as seamless as it could be. You deal with everything with such speed, it takes a lot of stress out of the process to be given such a good service through fast responses and actions."

“I cannot recommend Glanvilles Solicitors and in particular, Charlotte Toone highly enough. From start to finish, she was incredibly thorough, ensuring every detail was handled with care and accuracy. She maintained a perfect balance of being friendly and approachable whilst remaining professional at all times. She never once made me feel like I was being difficult and she took the time to report on the process. I am truly grateful for all her effort and dedication and I can’t thank her enough for all her help and would highly recommend Glanvilles to anyone going through a property sale.”
Havant
“I saw Craig Rees in Petworth, who I found very friendly and easy to talk to. He quickly established what I wanted and advised the best way to achieve it. He told me how much it would cost and how long it would take. A few weeks later, we met again and I signed my new will. Craig is knowledgeable, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."
