Will the stamp duty reduction benefit you?

At the end of September, the new UK chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng announced that stamp duty would be cut, potentially helping up to 200,000 home buyers avoid paying the tax each year. In his mini-budget, he revealed that the nil-rate band would double from £125,000 to £250,000 and first-time buyers will now pay no stamp duty on properties costing up to £425,000.

If you have been considering buying a new home in the coming months, this could be just the incentive you need to start your search in earnest. It could be especially welcome news as a first-time buyer too.

Here at Removals Unlimited we are always happy to help with any home move, whether you’re moving into your first home or your fifth! We pack, move and store so you can rest assured we’re on hand to help with every practical element of your move.

The stamp duty cut is likely to benefit many home buyers in Bournemouth and Poole. According to Rightmove, the average property price in Poole is £413,797, while in Bournemouth the average comes in at £350,329.

This could be great news if you are hoping to get on the property ladder in the coming months, and it may even mean you have some extra cash to spend on making your new flat or house into a home once you move in.

Of course, moving home can be stressful, particularly if you’re not sure what to expect. It can be very easy to underestimate the time and effort involved in not only packing your belongings, but transporting them from your current property to your new abode.

Our team of experienced professional movers and packers know exactly what to expect, however, having helped hundreds of people move home over the years. We are highly efficient packers – we can pack up an entire house in just one to two days.

What’s more, we make sure that we provide full protection for both the property you’re vacating and the one you’re moving into, so you can rest assured we won’t leave any unsightly marks on the carpet or scuffs on the walls or floors. We take the utmost care with every step of your move and treat all of your possessions as if they are our own.

We also provide all the packing materials required to safely transport your belongings from one place to the other, not to mention having a fleet of removals vehicles at our disposal, so whether you have a house full of furniture and boxes, or are moving with the minimum of items, we can be of assistance.
