Following Chancellor George Osborne’s Buy-to-let stamp duty announcement during the Autumn statement, local estate agency Connells in Harrow is offering assistance to prospective landlords on how to make the most of the Chancellor’s reform.  The branch is urging anyone looking to purchase a buy-to-let property to come in and speak to a member of the team who can assist with the next steps to take to secure a buy-to-let property before the 3% surcharge on stamp duty takes effect in April 2016.

 

“With the stamp duty changes coming in next April, there is still time to purchase a buy-to-let property, or for landlords to extend their portfolios, and avoid the higher fees,” says Amit Sharma, Lettings Manager at Connells Harrow.  “Customers should look to get the ball rolling now so that everything is in place before the changes hit.” 

 

“We are here to help and want to assist landlords in making the most out of their portfolio,” [add name] continues.  “We can offer a comprehensive service with guidance on all aspects of the buy-to-let market, including finding properties, securing a suitable mortgage for your needs and information on legislation and requirements to be a landlord.  If you are unsure of what this means for you, come in and speak to us and to get your plans underway.”
