Office Working As we move further into the ‘Firebreak’ imposed by the Welsh Assembly Government, we want to reassure everybody that it is very much ‘business as usual’ at Ungoed-Thomas & King as much as it possibly can be in these strange times. We have for the last two months split our team into two shifts one in the morning and another in the afternoon the purpose being that if a member of staff tests positive for COVID19 in one team, the other team is still able to c...ome into the office and deal with matters ongoing. During this Firebreak period, we are trying to deal with clients and third parties via the telephone and e-mail wherever possible. However, where there is a need for clients to visit the office this is done on an appointment only basis and clients are asked not to attend the appointment if they are unwell. Government social distancing measures are followed and the appointment rooms are cleaned thoroughly after each appointment. We thank everyone for their continued support over these last few months and as we move forward and hope that everyone continues to stay safe.

Changes to Land Transaction Tax The Welsh Government has today announced changes to the Land Transaction Tax thresholds for people buying their main homes in Wales. The starting threshold for Land Transaction Tax will increase from 180,000 to 250,000 for the residential main rates when this new measure is introduced on Monday 27th July 2020. This tax reduction will last until 31st March 2021. ... The new threshold will further reduce the tax burden in Wales, and it is estimated that around 80% of homebuyers liable to the main rates of land transaction tax, will not pay any tax. These changes reflect the nature of the housing market in Wales, where house prices on average are considerably lower in Wales 162,000 - than in England where the figure is 248,000. For first time buyers, the average purchase price paid is 139,000 in Wales, and 208,000 in England. This tax reduction will not apply to purchases of additional properties including buy to let and second homes. If you would like to speak to one of our experienced Property Solicitors about this or any aspect of the conveyancing process, please telephone us on (01267) 237441.

If you are obtaining a mortgage or loan which is to be secured over the property, your lender will require a number of searches to be...Continue reading
