LATEST UPDATE ON EPCS

Press Release from the Chief Executive of ARLA and NAEA

RE :- Further explanation on EPCs

It appears that my earlier note added to the confusion as I did not make it clear that the change of life for an EPC from one to three years related only to domestic properties offered for sale only.

For Residential properties being let and for non-domestic properties the EPC lasts up to 10 years.

I am also setting out a clearer description for each type of property.

Domestic Property to be let. From 1st October An EPC must be available to prospective tenants. However you only need to get one when you are looking to create a new tenancy. Properties currently let do not need one nor will they if an existing tenant signs a new lease or the tenancy goes periodic. The EPC lasts up to 10 years.

Commercial Property - other than for a small number of exceptions, All newly marketed Commercial property that are offered for sale or to let from 1st October will need an EPC. And the guidelines say that this needs to be available to potential purchasers or tenants either when written material is given out or when a viewing is done. The EPC lasts up to 10 years
Commercial Property that is already on the market before the 1st October and is then continually marketed do not need an EPC before the 1st January 09. However if it is sold or let in the meantime there is an obligation to provide and pass on an EPC.

Domestic Properties For Sale. – After much confusion the Minister has confirmed that all residential properties for sale, marketed after the 1st October, will need an EPC. This does not mean that pre-HIP properties now need a HIP, only an EPC. In addition the pre-HIP properties can continue to be marketed from 1st October whilst you sort out the EPC and, unlike properties with a HIP, there is no requirement to display the EPC graph on particulars although CLG would like you to. The EPC has to be made available “as soon as possible”. The EPC lasts up to 3 years.

I hope this helps to clarify things further.

Regards
Peter Bolton King
Chief Executive

Stamp duty abolished on some homes

HOMES worth £175,000 or less are to be exempted from stamp duty for 12 months as part of a package to revive the housing market, the Chancellor announced today.

The change, which comes into effect tomorrow, raises the threshold on which 1% stamp duty is paid from its current level of £125,000.

The move will save eligible home-buyers up to £1,750 when they purchase a property, and relates only to buildings entirely for residential use.

In a statement, the Treasury said: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer has today announced that stamp duty land tax will not apply to purchases of residential property of £175,000 or less.

"This will provide an exemption from stamp duty land tax for land transactions consisting entirely of residential property where the chargeable consideration is not more than £175,000.

"This relief will apply to transactions with an effective date on or after 3rd September and before 3rd September 2009."

The UK's biggest mortgage lender today welcomed the Government's announcement that it was abolishing stamp duty on properties worth up to £175,000.

The move means anyone buying an averaged priced house is likely to avoid having to pay the tax, relieving some of the pressure on hard-pressed first-time buyers.

A Halifax spokeswoman said: "We welcome the Government's stamp duty initiative. This is a sensible measure and it will help the housing market."

TURN YOUR DREAM HOME INTO REALITY IN TUFFLEY

TURN YOUR DREAM HOME INTO REALITY IN TUFFLEY

Imagine how good it would feel to buy a brand new property which was not only ready to move into straight away, but one where the interior scheme has also been taken care of by professional designers so all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your new surroundings.

Well, for one lucky buyer, this desire could soon become a reality as the stunning showhome at Persimmon Homes South Midlands’ The Grange development in Tuffley has finally been released for sale.

Alison Reading, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, states: “The Blacksmith showhome is our last remaining home at The Grange. We did have two showhomes on offer, but the popularity of buying an ex-showhome has meant there’s now just one remaining.

“Not everyone has the time, inclination or creative flair to fully design a brand new home which is why being offered the chance to move into a professionally styled property could be the ideal solution.”

The sumptuous two storey three bedroom Blacksmith design, incorporates carpets throughout and light fittings, and the housetype has been styled with a pallet of opulent golds offset with regal blues.

The Blacksmith is priced at £199,995, although Persimmon is offering its acclaimed 75 per cent shared equity scheme, meaning purchasers will pay just £149,997, with up to ten years interest free to pay the remaining 25 per cent.

Alison concludes: “This is the last chance for househunters looking to purchase one of our Tuffley-based homes and I’d recommend those looking for family home with the interior design scheme taken care of, to come and take a look before it’s too late.”

The Grange is a lovely development comprising just 41 units in a selection of three and four bedroom homes. All properties have been built to a high specification and feature detailed red brickwork designed to blend in with the surrounding area.

Situated in the popular residential area of Tuffley with good local amenities, including shops and schools on its doorstep, the site offers easy access to the M5, linking to Cheltenham, Gloucester and Birmingham.
