Guys its a bit of a crystal ball question which I hope is allowed, but it may be something that one of you may have an input in.
I have laid a deposit on a house and contracts should be signed this week.
There is one caveat and that is the seller needs some time, and have asked for a closing date of early 2013. I have no issue with that once contracts are signed, and we know we have the house.
My concern now stems from the fact that we have a upcoming Govt.budget and if the stamp duty is increased then am I exposed to that even if I sign contracts this week?
There is also an increase in Land registry from Dec which is going up €265 to €915.
Ideally I would love to get this deal done and closed before the budget etc, but has anyone ever heard a deal been completed for a property but the seller staying in the property after the close date.
thanks in advance.
