CEO of Enness Global Mortgages, Islay Robinson said: “Despite the problems posed by the current pandemic we’ve continued to see a good level of transactions take place at the very top end of the London market.

“While a stamp duty saving may not seem significant to those purchasing a multi-million pound home, a £15,000 saving is still a considerable help when it comes to covering additional costs such as legal fees. So there’s no doubt it has helped boost demand at the top price thresholds of the market.

“There’s also been an uplift in international demand which has helped keep transaction levels and sold prices consistently high despite the hurdles of international quarantine requirements and self-isolation.”
