First time buyer? Find your first home now to save thousands on Stamp Duty

From March 2025 the discounted Stamp Duty for first time buyers expires. With the average process of buying a home taking 12 weeks, you need to secure your home now!

At the moment, buyers of homes worth less than £250,000 don't pay stamp duty. This was doubled from £125,000 under Liz Truss's mini-Budget in September 2022.

The threshold is £425,000 for those buying their first property. This was raised from £300,000 as part of the mini-Budget.

These higher thresholds will end in March 2025, when they will revert to previous levels.

To make the most of the discounts, it is critical to secure a property before Christmas with solicitors instructed.

When selling your home, the right estate agent makes all the difference. Discover why a director-led approach offers unparalleled personal service, constant accessibility, and fair pricing, ensuring a smoother, more successful sale.

Rental growth has eased, but tenants are still searching carefully and landlords need to stay on top of pricing, compliance and property standards as the summer moving season continues.

For some homebuyers, the kitchen is the deal maker. For others, it is the number of bedrooms, the school catchment or the distance to the railway station. Yet for a sizeable group of buyers, the garden matters just as much as the house itself. Across Shepperton there are 90 homes with large gardens.

Thinking about selling your home but not ready for a full public launch? Discreet marketing could be the perfect solution. It allows you to test the waters, gauge interest, and find the right buyer without immediate, widespread exposure.
