I think about 35 % in. Simply states that the tax will encourage more old people to hang on to their properties and that will increase prices.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -

And yet the best borough ( Hackney ) only had a 2.1 % increase ? They never make any sense ?

dont forget the rest of the article...Suburbs
However prices in the London suburbs - and other parts of England and Wales - continued to hit new highs, said LSL.
According to its calculations, prices rose by 4.5% in the year to May, making the average cost of a home £277,178.
That is similar to estimates by the Office for National Statistics, but much higher than figures from Halifax and Nationwide.
Buyers of properties worth less than £937,000 now pay less in stamp duty than they used to.
Unless you were thinking of moving to prime london the stamp duty changes have just made the alternatives more expensive rather than less.0 -

I wonder what happened to Bubble has he bought yet?
Like CarolT, Macque, PasturesNew, and so many many other bears, he probably just grew a spine and finally bought something
My worry is the day will come when brit1234 finally buys.
That will be the day to trigger a tsunami of all price crashes!

Some boroughs like Lewishan and Newham up considerably more than that - 15 per cent plus. Which is a lot since that is up since a point a year ago when prices were alreadty very hot indeed. These percentage rises are on lower sales volumes I think though.0
