The Telegraph takes a moment to remind us... it's not all about the south east. Hazel Davis dons her pith helmet and ventures north, where she finds 75% of sales in the year to June coming in under £175,000. Get out of the south east, and there's a choice of stamp duty-free purchases (including a rather sharp conversion in a former Sheffield cutlery factory, pictured). Few believe the stamp duty fiddling will kick-start the property market, but the point Davis is making is that it will reach people, and a £1,750 saving is something to add to the deposit.
