Our CEO Simon Brown was quoted in The Telegraph’s analysis of #Budget2024, commenting on the absence of an extension to current stamp duty exemptions for primary residences, while also increasing the additional stamp duty rate from 3pc to 5pc:  “...with average completion times already so slow, many buyers may not make the deadline, creating a ‘cliff edge’ effect. After this surge, transactions risk stalling dramatically, leaving the market in an even more fragile state. We urge the Government to consider the long-term impact of this measure and focus on working with industry to improve the efficiency of the home-moving process - mitigating the market dampening effects.” Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/eGQ8vs5J

“The decision from government to not extend existing stamp duty exemptions for primary residences will inevitably create a rush of transactions as movers scramble to complete before the proposed stamp duty deadline on 31 March 2025 – something conveyancers, in particular, are already preparing for.” Our CEO Simon Brown was quoted in Money Marketing’s coverage regarding the budget for the first-time buyer (FTB) stamp duty threshold, which is due to expire in March.

"Our data clearly shows the significant affordability constraints currently weighing down the housing market. With interest rates still relatively high and unstable, home-movers are unable or hesitant to take the leap, resulting in completion levels falling to an all-time low. What the market urgently now needs is support to help transactions progress at pace, rather than adding further pressure on movers through increased costs. A healthy home-moving market benefits not just buyers but the wider economy too, as movers spend money on home decoration and renovations - often in the local community.
