Edinburgh’s leading property solicitor Warners has been celebrating another piece of high-profile media coverage in a top property news blog.

My First Home ran an analysis story from Warners, which suggested that the government decision to reintroduce Stamp Duty would be a “winter warmer” for the Lothians’ property market.

Warners said that the decision to reintroduce the 1% tax on properties priced between £125,000 and £175,000 from January 1st would lead to a flurry of activity over the winter months. Estate agency partner Scott Brown suggested that many would-be buyers would try to purchase a new home before the New Year in order to avoid the extra charges.

The full article appeared in My First Home and was the result of a dedicated Scottish PR campaign maintained by Edinburgh public releations agency the Holyrood PR.
