Depending on the source you look at, it takes on average
(from a cold start) between 176 to 200 days to sell a home.
This means the opportunity clock is now ticking before that
March 31 deadline.
Potential benefits from the Stamp Duty holiday are:
- Deals
that were dead in the water over a difference in the value buyers and
sellers were prepared to accept are now potentially resurrected. - Having
more as a deposit is opening more of the mortgage market to buyers. - As
is the decision by several lenders to reintroduce 90% Loan to Value
mortgages. - If
you’re thinking of selling, you’ll also benefit from the Stamp Duty
removal if the place you’re buying is under the £500,000 bracket.
At Whitegates Keighley we see working
with a client to sell their home as a team effort. So, if you are interested to
know how we’d help you make the most of the Stamp Duty window of opportunity,
