Time is running out to get any investment purchases in before the increase in stamp duty come 1st April. The national story I highlighted ("House prices set to fall after April") is the common train of thought many are having; that come April there will be a lull in the market caused by landlords stubbornly refusing to pay the extra 3% tax. I'll be watching the statistics throughout April and May to see if there is a drop-off in activity and indeed prices compared to now and the same time last year.
If you're in the process of buying an investment property ahead of the April 1st stamp duty increases and would like to discuss how I can help get the best return from your investment, please get in touch.
