On 3 December 2014, the Government announced changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax on residential properties. The tax is now graduated rather than a flat rate. Buyers will make a saving or pay the same if the price is £937,500 or less. The Government believes that 98% of buyers will make a saving.

I had a very good service from Michelle Ayres when selling. She was very helpful and prompt responding to any questions I had. I would recommend Michelle to others.

We can’t thank Leasa enough for all her help in purchasing our dream home. From start to finish, she was professional, proactive, and always one step ahead. Nothing was ever too much trouble, she kept us informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed.Leasa’s attention to detail and calm, reassuring approach gave us total confidence throughout. We’re so grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for their clients.Thank you Leasa, we couldn’t have done it without you!

I contacted James Urquart Burton to seek advice regarding the ICB failure to communicate regarding my late mother’s appeal. The advice provided by James was invaluable. He has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this area, and his advice and guidance were much appreciated. I would highly recommend him.

We had a great experience with Michelle as first time buyers. She was very professional and incredibly fast throughout the whole process. Even when we held things up a bit on our end, she was quick to respond and answered all our questions clearly and promptly. We would definitely recommend. Thank you.
