Briony Haley, director and head of property said: “The volume of conveyancing instructions we have received from clients across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast since the Stamp Duty holiday came into effect has been phenomenal.
“Given the large proportion of properties in the area that are beneath the standard stamp duty threshold, the rise in movers cannot be solely attributed to the tax break. Many have simply taken stock during lockdown and decided the time is to move on.
"Some people have been able to save additional funds and many people are looking for home working space.
"We’re delighted to welcome our new starters throughout the department as they start their careers at Blackhurst Budd.”
