Chancellor Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday until the end of June – a three month extension.
The lead story in The Times this morning and also on Estate Agent today says the extension, following a fierce campaign by Agents, property commentators and economists will be announced in the Spring Budget next week.
What isn’t clear is whether the extension is three months for all current and new buyers of properties up to £500,000 – or a tapered extension only for current buyers.
