From our office — what has changed
Over the last ten years
Title-deed backlogs were tackled, contract deposit at the Land Registry became standard practice, and buyer protections strengthened.
In the last two years
Stamp-duty treatment was revised from 2026 and reduced-VAT rules for a primary residence remain limited by size and value — the partner confirms what applies to your purchase.
