1. Reducing the threshold from £175k to £125k only affects a few sales.
2. The tax is borne, economically, by the vendor. In other words, if you're trying to sell a property between £125k and £175k, and the purchaser says he doesn't want to pay the SDLT, you can drop your price by 1%, job done.
Just sayin', is all.
