Save on Stamp Duty when you buy your new David Wilson home
Stamp Duty holiday for home buyers. The changes mean if you buy a home up to the value of £500,000, you won’t need to pay any Stamp Duty, and even if you are buying a property over £500,000, you will make a saving. So now could be a great time to buy your new home.
How do the changes impact me?
Stamp Duty is the tax charged by the Government when you buy a home. Following the Government announcement in England no Stamp Duty is payable on homes up to £500,000. For homes over £500,000 you could save £15,000.
