APRIL 2016 | ROSS&CO | 01323 482700 / 01323 841814 Issue 5
On Saturday the 12th March,
Ross & Co jumped on a static
bike and clocked up 93miles
and raised £ 508 in aide of
Sports Relief!
The original target of cycling Hailsham to
London was quickly demolished, and so
the team pedalled for as many miles as
possible.
The Residential team cycled from 10am-
3pm, clocking up 150km, whilst
supporters donated pounds for
homemade cakes.
Angela Marden, Residential sales and
lettings director says it was great to see
the team come together for a good cause.
‘Our Residential Team really pulled
together & involved friends & families
who baked and donated cakes for us to
sell for Sports Relief.
The response and generosity of the
people of Hailsham was amazing and
helped to produce a great day of fun,
good feeling and lots of pennies in the
pot for such a great cause!’
Anton Bree, managing director, was
impressed by the turnout and support.
‘Fundraising for Sport Relief has gone
exceptionally well. The support of the
staff and local residents was amazing!’
Whilst this is the first event of its kind
for Ross & Co t, it won’t be the last as
the team put their thinking caps on for
the upcoming charity fundraisers they
have planned.

If however contracts were exchanged before the announcement of the new rules on the 25th November 2015 the higher SDLT rates will not apply. In these cases, because individuals have committed to proceed without being aware of the surcharge, the completion date can be on or after 1st April 2016.

The 3% surcharge will not be relevant if you inherit a property. However, it will be payable if you go on to purchase a second home without selling it.
If you are buying a property that will replace your main residence, you will not be liable for the surcharge.
What if I own a property but the person I’m buying with doesn’t? Unfortunately, even if only one of you owns a property, you will have to pay the surcharge of 3%. If you are getting divorced but your name is still on the deeds on the family home, which is not being sold, you will be liable to pay the 3% surcharge.
From the 1st April, the buy to let stamp duty will take hold
and you will have to fork out an extra 3% in Stamp Duty if
you are buying a second home. We have all the information
on how this new tax loading will work.
The new stamp duty surcharge is a 3% loading on the existing stamp duty rates.
Whereas before, a second property up to the value of £125,000 was stamp duty free, they will incur a 3% stamp duty charge.
So who has to pay it?
Anyone who is buying additional residential properties within England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland are liable to pay the stamp duty.
The surcharge will even apply if you already own or part-own a property overseas.
Regular stamp duty is charged on a tiered basis much like income tax, but the 3% surcharge will still work as a slab tax meaning the 3% will apply to the entire purchase price of the property.
Are there any exemptions?
You will not have to pay the surcharge on second homes, if the property is less than £40,000, or is a caravan, mobile home or
