Does Yael Selfin imagine that the sellers will pay the stamp duty without putting the price of their homes up? The only way switching the responsibility for passing stamp duty could have an impact on the market is if it becomes a discount on prices. That isn't what is proposed and it is very ignorant of this chief economist to imagine that's how seller's would behave. Nor would it be right for the government to impose a property discount on sellers. They just wouldn't sell so the market would stagnate. As sellers would put up their prices to cover the tax, that could also slow down the market. Banks will be opposed to the change because it decreases the value of their existing security on property by the stamp duty percentages, which would decrease the amount they could lend as their gearing would be damaged. Lack of funding could stall the market. This doesn't say much for KPMG of this is the thinking of their chief economist. Heaven help us all if that's the best such a leading accountancy can come up with!

It is inevitable that Rightmove will want to have the option to become a global online agency so they have somewhere to go if a portal like onthemarket chips away at their market share. If we agents all pulled out properties of Rightmove instead of disappearing the search engine could take us on as the best known and trusted portal for property and allow people to list and sell direct.
