Original Note:
Jeremy Hunt purchased seven flats in 2018 and benefited from a stamp duty loophole. By buying six or more properties in a single transaction, the purchase was classified as a "non-residential" transaction, which allowed him to pay a lower rate of stamp duty. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/04/22/jeremy-hunt-saved-100000-tax-bulk-purchase-seven-flats/
