<p>The temporary SDLT relief was designed to stimulate immediate momentum in a property
market where property transactions fell by as much as 50 per cent during the COVID-19
lockdown in March. This momentum in the property market has supported jobs which rely
on custom from the property industry, such as retailers and tradespeople.</p><p> </p><p>The
SDLT holiday was extended to ensure that purchases that were unable to complete before
31 March because of delays in the sector are able to receive the relief. The Government
will not extend the temporary relief further for any transactions.</p>
