Attention First Time Buyers!

Did you know that First Time Buyers are currently exempt from Stamp Duty Land Tax on all properties purchased up to £250,000, making this an ideal time to buy your first home?

However, you will need to act quickly! To benefit from this exemption you must complete your property purchase on or before the 24th March 2012; from the 25th March this year the threshold for payment of Stamp Duty for first time buyers will revert back to £125,000. The saving this can offer you on the purchase of your first home is significant. For example, if you purchase a property for say £150,000 as a first time buyer on the 24th March, you will pay no Stamp Duty. If you complete your purchase of this property on the 25th March you will be liable to Stamp Duty of £1,500!

With a large number of properties currently on the market within this price range act now to avoid this liability. As a council employee we are offering to charge a reduced fee of £475, plus vat and outlays for any 1st time buyer completion that takes place between now and the end of March.

To take advantage of this great offer, please contact:

Kevin McLuskey

By telephone: 0131 661 5911
