Davidsons is one of the house builders involved with the development of Houlton. The sign tells us that a new phase is coming soon and that the 'stamp duty holiday continues with Davidsons Homes'. (Stamp duty is a tax normally paid on properties costing £125,000 or more but in a move to help buyers, who might have taken a financial hit because of Covid, this was temporarily increased to £500,000 in summer 2020). Behind the sign is one of the showhomes, 'The Newstead'.
