Our conveyancing solicitors are dedicated to completing your transactions as quickly as possible before 31 March, 2025 (SDLT increase deadline). However, because of the involvement of multiple parties in your transactions that are beyond our control, we are unable to guarantee completion. Therefore, if completion does not take place by 31 March, 2025, we will not be responsible for any increase in SDLT payable. In the event that your matters are not completed before 1 April, 2025, please make sure you have sufficient funds to cover the additional SDLT.
1. The threshold (being the amount of the purchase price that will be free from Stamp Duty) is currently £250,000. This will be reduced to £125,000.
2. The threshold for First-time Buyers Relief over which SDLT will be payable is currently £425,000. This will be reduced to £300,000.
3. The maximum purchase price for which First-Time Buyers Relief (as above) can be claimed at all is currently £625,000. This will be reduced to the previous level of £500,000.
