The deadline for buyers to take advantage of the higher £500,000 nil-rate band by three months which means buyers in England and Northern Ireland could save up to £15,000 in tax if sales are completed by June 30.
From July 1, the nil-rate band will fall to £250,000 until September 30 which means maximum savings for buyers is £2,500.
The nil-rate band will then return to its original level of £125,000.
