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.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.

If you listened to the doom merchants, you would think first-time buyers (FTB) in Shepperton had no chance at all. According to the loudest voices, buying a first home is impossible, the ladder has been pulled up, and the only people who buy their first homes today are lottery winners or those with wealthy parents.

We are delighted to welcome to Newboulds & Co as a new director, Chad Newbould
