Rightmove changes

Rightmove changed siteJust looked at a property or two this morning to notice a bar of photos across the bottom of the page “Showing: Similar properties nearby”

I don’t like it for several reasons. I can’t quickly see the info about the property, I now have to scroll down, and I’ve come via a link to look at that property so I don’t (yet) want to look at other ones.
That option has been there on the top right for some time but this forced option isn’t a good thing in my opinion!

SDLT Disadvantaged areas relief

SDLT Disadvantaged areas relief

In some areas properties are exempt from stamp duty. Your solicitor should tell you about this but you can check yourself and confirm with them whether the property you’re buying is exempt.

Disadvantaged Areas Relief applies to:
residential property transactions where the amount paid (or the value of any other ‘consideration’) is £150,000 or less
the residential element of ‘mixed use’ (business and residential) property transactions – for example where a shop and a flat above it are bought together and the amount given for the flat is £150,000 or less
