🏠 Attention Homeowners: Why You Should List Your Property Before the Stamp Duty Changes in April 📈
Are you considering selling your home? 🏡 With stamp duty increases set to take effect in England on 1st April next year, there’s never been a better time to put your property on the market. Here’s why listing your home sooner rather than later is the smart move. 🕒🏘️
Acting now ensures you maximise your chances of securing a sale at the best price. 💷✨
📜 What Are the Stamp Duty Changes?
The government has announced changes to stamp duty rates, which will increase costs for first-time buyers purchasing property after 1st April 2025. Currently, many first-time buyers benefit from favourable stamp duty thresholds, but these changes will mean higher upfront costs for them. From 1st April 2025, the following changes will come into effect:
✅ The nil rate threshold for first-time buyers, currently £425,000, will return to the previous level of £300,000.
✅ The maximum purchase price eligible for First-Time Buyers Relief will decrease from £625,000 to £500,000.
These changes make it more expensive to buy a first property. As a result, there’s an urgent window of opportunity for buyers to act now and complete their purchases before the deadline. ⏳ For homeowners, this creates an ideal market dynamic: motivated buyers, eager to purchase before costs go up. 📈
