How to benefit from the Stamp Duty Holiday

Earlier this year, the Government announced a temporary holiday on stamp duty until March 2021, meaning that zero tax is tax payable on the first £500,000 of all home purchases. 

While this all sounds great, you may be thinking “how can I actually make the most of this deal?” Well, don’t worry. We’ve put together a short guide to ensure you make the most of the Stamp Duty holiday.

Buying a home can seem like a daunting, lengthy process. However, according to the National Post Office, in a straightforward purchase, and once your offer is accepted, you should complete the process within the 15-week national average.
