According to the April\u2019s mortgage data, UK homeowners\u2019 borrowing levels were higher than in any month since comparable data began almost thirty years ago \u2013 caused in the main by the extended stamp duty holidays and very low mortgage rates.<\/p>\n
As we emerge from lockdown Britain, many home owners have moved quickly to beat the tax relief deadlines, or are keen to borrow more to improve their existing property having spent too much time at home in the past year. Combine that desire with very low interest rates and you have an environment where there is greater demand than supply, a scenario in which Estate Agents are witnessing a surge in house prices.<\/p>\n
Saving thousands of pounds in Stamp Duty tax is, for many, the opportunity they have been waiting for, but time is not on the side of any movers who find themselves in a complicated chain, or where they need to act quickly to ensure their finances are in shape to make an acceptable offer on the home of their dreams.<\/p>\n
