I'm considering buying festival tickets for the end of July. Am I mad?
hahahaFucking hell a side effect is spelling lol
Talk today of the stamp duty holiday being extended for 3 months. Right decision? Not sure.
I fucking hope so on the one hand. But also it’s the only thing putting pressure on my chain to complete so maybe not.
It’s a silly tax anyway IMO. Do proper property taxation and streamline the entire buying process. So much waste and middle men in there.

Other half works for a solicitors and made the salient point that if they extend it by 3 months or more it’ll bring more separate case buyers into the market and start new chains, and then we’ll be in the same situation in June.
Out of interest, how many pubs would an Earlsoon pub crawl involve, I’ve often heard it’s a good area for pubs but looking on google maps it only shows a few.Ah yes, good point. Forgot about that!
A crawl round Earlsdon finishing up at the old cottage would be a thing of dreams right now.
You best hope it gets done snappy then.We've sold our place and had an offer accepted on a new one in the last two weeks, all under the assumption that stamp duty was part of it so if it's extended that's a bonus and also means I can finally get those crocodile skin cowboy boots I've been eyeing up
For a jaw-dropping.discount !You best hope it gets done snappy then.
Me too - the whole system is a fucking joke. I’ve never seen anything so backwards and out of date.I'm buying at the minute, solicitor's are a scam

If you were a solicitor specialising in conveyancing and getting a fixed 2K+ a time for a sale and purchase, you’d want to be smashing them out all over the place. I know they are hamstrung by the slowness of the searches process which seems to be stuck in the 19th Century, but they could then put pressure on this for reform. I did read somewhere government were looking at the whole conveyancing process as it’s so far behind the times.Thats the property industry for you.

All the searches and documentation etc was done on my old place when we bought it. I’ve still got it all saved. Why couldn’t I just hand that to the people buying the house after me? Maybe not the actual checks on the building but the other local area survey shite.
My first purchase fell through after I’d done all the searches and a homebuyers report. I offered to give it all to the next buyer so at least someone got some use and was told they “couldn’t accept third party information and had to do it all themselves”. This was the day I got the searches so wasn’t about being out of date.
Whole thing is a massive scam.
Can’t they just say anything with a mortgage offer by X date is in?
Edit: cash buyers I suppose. There must be some way of putting a cut off in that doesn’t disadvantage say, post divorce men who don’t qualify for FTB status but basically are FTB and have been waiting since Christmas for the chain to pull their fingers out their arse.
As an example.
Wasn’t that what the pack was for? The answer will be things may have changed but yepAll the searches and documentation etc was done on my old place when we bought it. I’ve still got it all saved.

I think for those people with a single property stamp duty is a little unnecessary - use it for people that own multiple properties.Spot on. They’ll be another ‘cliff edge’ next time so will be interesting to see if that’s addressed next week. There’s murmurs of stamp duty being dropped full time for sales below a certain sum. Won’t happen next week but maybe they’ll keep an eye on how the market looks in coming months
I’ve always thought the biggest scam is the ability for people to pull out of deals at no cost to them (think they should at least cover legals on other side). Tricky with chains though I guess but never felt right to me
