A new survey has revealed that homebuyers are planning to house hunt right up until, and through, the Christmas period, in hopes of beating the spring stamp duty relief deadline.

The SDLT threshold will drop from £250,000 to £125,000 on 1st April 2025, while the limit for first-time buyers will be reduced from £425,000 to £300,000.
