UK Finance Minister Rishi Sunak will extend the stamp duty holiday until the end of June, which will prevent property transactions from collapsing when the deadline ends on March 31.

To no-one’s surprise, there haven’t been petitions or concerted pressure from the public, MPs and trade bodies regarding the introduction of an extra 2% stamp duty surcharge on non-UK buyers from April 1 2021.

A number of estate agents have reported a good performance for January, as buyers raced to get deals over the line before the stamp duty holiday deadline.

When Dubai resident Mohy Shams heard about UK finance minister Rishi Sunak’s stamp duty holiday for residential property purchases last July, he jumped at the opportunity to make a saving.

In the past year, many of us who live in towns or cities have been forced to embrace a more local way of life.
