    Some properties are worth rushing for - house buyer near me rushed in and bought a house for which there was sufficient land included to build an off-street space. That must add value in road with very little parking.

    As far as incentives go, I would rather negotiate on price. Rather than getting stamp duty paid, get an equivalent discount and then pay less stamp duty because the sale price is lower!

    Good read! I am interested on doing the part exchange on my property for a new build! Was wondering can you still make lower offers on the new build if you PX your current property ?
