A client is considering purchasing a buy-to-let property that is currently being built.
If she exchanges on the property now but completion is not until the Summer, will her Stamp Duty be based on the pre-April 2016 rates or will she be hit with the new additional charge?

That the old regime will apply to contracts entered into before 1.4.16, but as PNL says the legislation is out on 9.12.15, so you should wait to see if I am right.
