Is there a way you can get around the New Budget Announcement of 5% Stamp Duty? What are the next steps for Property Investors in the UK?

Property Expert, Simon Zutshi, elaborates on one of the biggest changes from the Autumn Budget 2024. He stresses that whilst Labour’s First Budget has imposed such a tax hike, it is not the end of the world and there are some things we can do following Rachel Reeves’ Budget 2024.

Why does stamp duty exist? Find out about all the essential information you need to be aware of regarding Stamp Duty e.g. knowing of any exemptions, Multiple Dwelling Relief, Non Residential Rate and much more.

The Truth About the Budget 2024 is that there is actually a way for you to not pay any Stamp Duty at all, this is by utilising Lease Option Agreements. 

Simon summarises the importance of familiarising yourself with Lease Options, where you can gain cash flow and equity from a property you don’t even own, to overcome this 2024 Budget Bombshell.
