GREGORY ABRAMS DAVIDSON SOLICITORS
For you, for business, for life.
Not only has the Stamp Duty been extended but there is also help for all those budding homeowners who have been struggling to scrape a massive 10%, or higher, deposit together to enable them to buy their first home.
Here are the key headlines for the latest Stamp Duty Extension news…
The Stamp Duty Extension will ensure that there is sufficient time for buyers to complete their transactions without feeling under pressure and will give solicitors a little breathing space too.
There is also a helping hand for first-time homebuyers.
From 1st April 2021 banks will be offering 95% mortgages which will be supported by a government-backed guarantee. This means only a 5% deposit will be required and furthermore, this is not limited to first time buyers or new build homes only as the eligibility criteria allows for current homeowners too. There is however a limit of up to £600,000
This offer does not appear to be available to Buy to Let investments.
Enabling first-time buyers to get their foot on the property ladder will bring new nourishment that will benefit the wider housing market as a result. Although this is a welcome outcome to the challenging last 12 months we must remain mindful that this potential surge in demand may lead to over-inflated house prices.
