Re: Anyone else move house often ?
Bought our first house in 1997 (in Bristol) and then moved to Chester in Feb this year -pushed the boat our mortgage wise for the very reason that we don't want to move again (and pay yet more stamp duty) until we are ready to downsize in 20 years plus time.
I don't even like to think about the stamp duty we had to pay earlier this year - could have bought a very nice new car with that kind of money. The real sickner is that if the stamp duty bands had been moved in line with house price inflation the 3% band wouldn't even kick in until £600K!
