Tapered until the end of September too, though no details of how that will work.
Heard it reduces by 50k a month. "As expected, stamp duty holiday on properties up to £500,000 continues until the end of June. It will be kept at double its standard level until the end of September, and then return to usual levels from 1 October."
Not entirely sure what that means tbh.
EDIT, so nil levels are doubled. 0% up to £250k, 2% £250k - £500k.

Congrats Rutter and Chevron - really pleased for you!
Thanks, its bittersweet really as we are moving out of a 4 bed new build into a 3 bed that has been rented out for the past 30 years! That said we are back in the area we want to be in and at least I'll be busy!Rutter said:

I have been watching house sales in Devon this year and every house i have looked at has sold within two weeks, just incredible.
We had an offer accepted on Monday for one that had been on and off the market 4 times due to chains collapsing. It came back on last Friday, 500+ mile round trip to view it on an open viewing day on Saturday, back off the market on Monday due to our offer.
So yep, they don’t hang about if they are nice unfortunately. Lucky my wife spotted it had been relisted TBH because I hadn’t. She saw it previously but had been told it was sold.
Supply dried up here as we got closer and closer to March.
Expecting a lump to go in the market in the next few weeks now the SDLT holiday has been extended.
Still convinced we got an absolute bargain
(offered <1% over asking and the old chap cancelled all other viewings and accepted, apparently our daughter has the same name as his, which he liked).

(offered <1% over asking and the old chap cancelled all other viewings and accepted, apparently our daughter has the same name as his, which he liked).We are on 19th March, but its the toughest property market I've ever experienced. Inflated prices, deals very difficult as lots of buyers being creative about their position and intent.
We lost two houses as vendors couldn't do a deal / secure their onward moves, we got gazumped on another. Lost our initial buyer who cost us 12 weeks, but found a eager buyer with no chain who offered 25k over list to secure ours and a seller who waited for us.....
Solicitors / estate agents / mortgage Co's all over the place with stamp duty holiday workload and covid wfh - utter shambles at mo.
Completion Time
What do most people suggest as a sensible completion time?
We've been suggested 2pm. Which we think gives us time for the movers to arrive in the morning, remove everything from our place, then drive round the the next house.
Sensible?
Or do packers/movers usually arrive the day before to do all the boxing and packing?
