Budget Boost For The Property Market
March 03, 2021
Todays budget has delivered a further boost for the property market with the news that the stamp duty holiday has been extended until the end of September. The current arrangements of the up to £500000 nil rate band will continue until the end of June rather than ending at the end of March as originally planned.

You may not have that sense of it being a new year and a new start, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some positive changes. As we have to ‘stay at home’ once again, why not use the time wisely?
