So you can either lose £25,000 on the sale price, or pay their £2,000 stamp duty for them.

It's up to you.

Makes me wonder if they are also going to keep the £250K level....

Don't worry, your car park will be worth £175k this time next week.

You should be grateful to get an offer at £175k.

But you have only just moved and afaik the 175k thing is only for a year. Therefore shouldn't affect you at all?
