Tax thresholds are set to change at the end of this month (Image: Getty)
Home buyers are rushing to get purchase deals over the line before Rachel Reeves’ property tax changes kick in, data has suggested. Currently, purchasers of homes worth less than £250,000 do not have to pay any stamp duty. The threshold is £425,000 for people buying their first house. Meanwhile, the maximum price for which a reduced stamp duty rate is applied to purchases of first homes is £650,000.
But, from March 31, these thresholds will be lowered to what they were before - from £250,000 to £125,000 for people who have bought a home before, and from £425,000 to £300,000 for first-time buyers. In addition, it will decrease from £625,000 to £500,000 for first time buyers relief. A law firm has said that it has seen a 94% increase in conveyancing instructions - the point when a buyer moves forward with the purchase agreement of a property - compared to last year.

"Positive sentiment around the mortgage market and the reduction of interest rates will have had an impact.
"After a restricted few years, home sellers are acting to secure mortgage approvals, and solicitors are working around the clock to ensure completions can take place before the end of March.
"But even after the threshold changes, we predict that demand will remain high as we move into spring, and we expect a very busy period for the conveyancing sector."
