In the Press… Discussing Conservative proposals to scrap Stamp Duty

There has been so much speculation lately regarding reform of property taxes, and this week the Conservatives put a new proposal to scrap stamp duty front and centre of their party conference.

Our founder and MD Jennie Hancock was delighted to be quoted in the Daily Mail’s Money section, This is Money, and several property industry titles sharing her views on the proposal:

“It’s unlikely the Conservatives will have the opportunity to implement this policy any time soon, but my hope is that after years of property market stagnation, the Government will take note and recognise the vast economic benefits scrapping Stamp Duty would bring.

“It’s such a prohibitive tax, and that was clear for everyone to see when the temporary Stamp Duty holiday was introduced during covid. In over 30 years of working in the housing market, I’ve never witnessed such an instant and dramatic turnaround.”
