Price increases mean only 1 in 33 FTB's escape stamp duty
Telegraph: Fewer than one in five homes escapes stamp tax threshold
Relentless house price inflation means that fewer than one in five properties now escapes the £125,000 stamp duty threshold, new figures disclosed last night.The threshold was doubled from £60,000 only 18 months ago by the Chancellor and then increased again earlier this year to help first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.
