Stamp Duty Changes & the Impact on Moving

With Stamp Duty thresholds reverting in April 2025, the property market is set for a shake-up. Buyers are rushing to complete transactions before tax increases, creating a surge in demand for moving services. For seniors looking to relocate, this fast-moving market can add extra stress—but that’s where we come in.

How the Stamp Duty Change Affects Moves

Pre-April 2025 Boom – More buyers are trying to complete purchases before the tax rise, leading to a shortage of available removal services and increased costs for movers. This means that you may find it harder to secure reliable support for your move.

 Increased Competition – More properties on the market mean sellers need to make their homes stand out to attract buyers quickly. A well-presented home is more likely to sell before the deadline.

 Post-Deadline Slowdown – Once the new tax rates take effect, buyer demand may drop, potentially leading to longer selling times and shifting property values. People who delay their move may face a different market dynamic.
