State pensioners in the UK now have a smart way to dodge stamp duty when buying a new home. The tax kicks in on any property worth 125,000 pounds or more, a drop from the old 250,000 pound limit. But residential park homes, often called mobile homes, stay completely exempt no matter the price. These homes sit in dedicated parks or villages built just for folks over 50 or at state pension age. They're custom made for retirement living with everything tailored to make life easier in later years. Many retirees are downsizing to free up cash or tapping pension lump sums for a fresh start. The lower tax threshold hits them harder now, adding unexpected costs to what should be an exciting move. Experts point out the stamp duty break as one of the top reasons buyers flock to park homes.
