Some home buyers putting in offers from Tuesday may ask to split the cost of higher stamp duty rates with sellers, a property market expert has said.
From April 1, nil rate stamp duty discounts will shrink, with first-time buyers seeing the zero rate threshold reduce from £425,000 to £300,000 and home movers seeing theirs halve from £250,000 to £125,000. Stamp duty applies in England and Northern Ireland.
