Last minute rush to beat stamp duty

The amount lent in mortgages has leapt 10 per cent in the past year as first-time buyers race to seal deals before the stamp duty amnesty ends. Year-on-year figures rose for the sixth month in a row after banks and building societies lent £10.5billion in January, said the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). Although seasonal factors meant the figure was 14 per cent weaker than in December, the CML said the performance was in line with improved sentiment in the housing market. The industry body believes the March 24 deadline for the end of the stamp-duty free period for first-time buyers on properties under £250,000 has boosted activity.
