📢 NO JOKES! New Stamp Duty Changes Are Now in Effect! 🏡

As of today, April 1st, 2025, new Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) rules are live — and they could impact buyers across the UK.

Here’s what’s changed:

🔹 Standard Buyers:
You’ll now pay 2% SDLT on property purchases over £125,000 (down from the old £250K threshold).

🔹 First-Time Buyers:
The tax-free threshold has dropped to £300,000, with 5% due between £300K–£500K.
(Previously, you could buy up to £425K without paying a penny.)

🔹 Additional Properties:
The 3% surcharge will now be 5% for second homes and buy-to-lets.

💰Example:
Buying at £295,000? You’ll now pay £4,750 in SDLT — that’s £2,500 more than before April 1st!

If you’re planning to buy in 2025, it’s more important than ever to budget for these new tax rates — and get tailored advice before you make a move.

I'M UNSURE HOW LONG I SHOULD FIX MY RATE FOR? 🤔

Other than the obvious length of fixed rate, there are a few key differences between 2, 3 and 5 year fixed rates which may impact your decision on which offering you go for 🤔

The interest rate of 2, 3 and 5 years have become more similar in recent years, with sometimes the 5-year rates, being lower than 2 & 3 years, however, it's all about the rate.

2 & 3 year fixed rates are perfect for short-term commitment, whether that be you are planning to move, or make significant changes to your situation, being on a 2 & 3 year fixed can allow you the flexibility to make changes without the penalty charges, as waiting for a 2 & 3 year fixed to end is much easier than waiting on your 5!

That being said, 5 year fixed rates can help you beat those remortgage woes, the thought of remortgaging every 2 years is enough to fill many with dread, and having 5 years without remortgaging is great for many.

If you're unsure of which deal is right for you, we'll talk you through your options so you can make an informed decision 🤩

JINGLE BALLS! The Bank of England has held the base rate at 4.75%!

What does this mean for your mortgage? 🏡
🔒 Fixed Rate Mortgages: No changes here! Your rate remains secure until your deal ends.

📈 Tracker or Standard Variable Rate Mortgages: Good news! No increase in your monthly payments since the base rate remains unchanged.

However, if you have been holding off securing a mortgage, it's crucial to stay prepared. Rates can change suddenly, so securing your mortgage deal now can save you from future disappointments.
