TOP-END PROPERTY: Saving of €60k

THE million euro mark has returned to its previous role as the tipping point for all property and luxury, top-end property.

With prices now well back in this limited market, the new stamp duty rates are going to have a more profound effect, because the savings are enormous the higher you go.

Blurred during the boom, (when average semis were sold for more), a million euro price tag is now a stable landmark from which luxury houses can set sail.
