Increasing property transactions

Simon and Stuart chat about a recent article in the Financial Times claiming property transactions are increasing thanks to the stamp duty holiday. Show notes include a link to the source data.

This week's conversation covered:

• House sales climb for second month.
• Based on HMRC figures using stamp duty records (direct PDF link).
• Too early to be from the stamp duty holiday.
• High LTV mortgage products are currently rare.
• Transactions are recovering well, but they're currently still down from last year.
• Was the stamp duty holiday too early?
• Will the stamp duty holiday be extended?
• A lot of the recovery in transactions will just be catching up from what was missed.
• Sold, STC!
• On the market for less than 10 days.
• Home information packs to speed up conveyancing.
• Don't believe the blockchain hype!
