Yesterday's budget abolished stamp duty immediately for first-time buyers purchasing properties worth up to 300,000. To help those in London and other expensive areas, the first 300,000 of the cost of a 500,000 purchase by all first-time buyers will be exempt from stamp duty, with the remaining 200,000 incurring 5%.
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is specifically designed for home buyers buying a conventional house, flat or bungalow which was built from the late Victorian period (late 1800's) onwards and is in reasonable condition. It provides details of problems that the surveyor considers are serious enough to require repair or further investigation.
It will likely be several months before a full understanding of the instigated changes to the regulations can be completed. In 1996 the European Union required each Member State to introduce Legislation to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities within the building industry which has one of the highest accident records.

Very impressed by the service from N J Lewis during a lease extension on a flat. The process was explained in a clear and concise way and help was given throughout the process at every stage along with regular updates. They negotiated strongly with the freeholder's surveyor and were able to negotiate a lower premium than I otherwise would have paid if dealing directly with their solicitor. I would highly recommend their services and will not hesitate to use again.

Adam has recently helped tirelessly with my lease extension. He has handled the process in the most professional manner from start to finish and always kept me informed. My case involved dealing with a very difficult freeholder and his surveyor. Many people would have backed down but Adam reassured me along the way. The lease extension went all the way to a tribunal hearing where Adam also represented me in the courtroom. Adam put together a strong case and quite simply destroyed the opposition! He managed to negotiate the premium way lower than expected and he has saved me many thousands! I can’t

I have used NJ Lewis & Associates Ltd numerous times for myself and often referred them to friends and family. They helped with a very tricky party wall problem, which could have resulted in myself from not being able to sell my property.
They are very professional and transparent. Nothing was an issue and they were able to explain any technical terms in clear and easy to understand language.
I would not hesitate the recommend them to anyone who may require their services.

Adam completed a lease extension valuation on my property. He explained the lease extension process in a clear and friendly manner and dealt with valuation efficiently. After reviewing the freeholder's counter offer he advised it was reasonable and recommended that I accept it, resulting in myself with a happy outcome and avoiding further valuation and legal costs. I would not hesitate recommending Adam.
