What's new July 2020
SDLT calculator updated
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has today announced a temporary stamp duty holiday, costing £3.8bn, to stimulate the property market.
We've updated our SDLT calculator to reflect the temporarily reduced rates for residential property purchases between 8 July 2020 and 31 March 2021.
New data: average household income
We've added new data on average household income in England & Wales.
This data can be found in Local Data (in Demographics > Work) as well as in the Plot Map tool and the National Postcode Table.
Rental only valuations
We've created a new functionality to produce rental only valuations; useful for rent negotiations when having a sales valuation on the same document might be a distraction.
Create your valuation in the normal way, and select 'rental only' when downloading in .pdf format.
£/sqft data on Land/plots sourcing list
We've been working on adding our best-in-class £/sqft data to our Land/plots sourcing list. Often the average £/sqft values in an area are critical in determining the economic viability of a development project – now you can filter by this attribute.
Schools data on property fact sheets
Our schools data is now shown on local property fact sheets. Whether looking at a property for comparables purposes or finding in through the Sourcing section, schools data will give an additional insight into the desirability of a property.
