More than 700,000 home sales across Britain are nearing completion, marking the biggest "conveyancing log jam" in more than a decade.
Around 704,000 sales are going through the process as the stamp duty holiday deadline looms, said estate agents Rightmove. Some sellers may need to brace themselves for buyers trying to renegotiate the price if they miss the deadline.
The stamp duty deadline was extended in the March budget and, once the June 30th deadline passes, a new tapered rate will come into force and run from July to the end of September.
