Time Running Out To Benefit From Stamp Duty Holiday In Oadby

Bloor Homes Midlands is urging house-hunters in Leicestershire to act quickly to acquire one of the available homes at Cottage Farm that qualify for the current Stamp Duty holiday deadline on 31 March 2021.

Michele Rose, regional sales director for Bloor Homes Midlands, said: “We have definitely seen an increase in sales across our sites in the Midlands region. Buyers have been taking advantage of not having to pay any Stamp Duty on properties up to the value of £500,000. This means that at our Cottage Farm development in Oadby, buyers can purchase a three- or even four-bedroom home without incurring Stamp Duty costs, potentially saving themselves thousands of pounds.

“Although they are cautious, and are wise to be so, our buyers have been keen to take advantage of the benefits of moving now. It really is a good time to consider buying a new home. On top of the Stamp Duty holiday, we also have a £5k deposit boost and upgrade package on two of our plots at Cottage Farm.

“With only a handful of homes eligible for the government’s Stamp Duty holiday, buyers will need to act fast to avoid disappointment. The homes have been in high demand with people either looking to make their first step onto the property ladder or looking for extra space. We have seen that confidence in the housing market is high and we are optimistic this will continue.”
