Stamp duty reduced rate

Stamp duty reduced rate

Postby fitz on Mon Nov 09, 2009 6:48 pm

We are hoping to achieve the purchase of a property prior to 31 December 2009 to take advantage of the special stamp duty exemption of £175,000, which expires on that date.

Does a sale qualify for the exemption at exchange of contracts, or must actual completion be achieved by 31 December to benefit from the special £175,000 exemption.

Completion is the relevant date.
