Stamp duty sales boost
THE return of stamp duty could lead to a flurry of sales before the end of the year, an Edinburgh estate agent said today.
The Chancellor Alistair Darling has confirmed that the current stamp duty "holiday" for homes between 125,000 and 175,000 will end at the end of the year.
Scott Brown, estate agency partner at Warners, said: "I think this decision may create an unexpected winter warmer for the property market that is likely to lead all the way up to the traditionally quiet Hogmanay period."
