Homebuyers who miss this month’s stamp duty deadline in England will benefit from a decade-high choice of properties this spring, with competition forcing many sellers to restrict price increases, according to a report.
The average price of a property coming to market for sale across the UK has risen by 1.1% or £3,867 this month to £371,870, in line with the long-term average increase in March, according to the property website Rightmove.
