Threshholds were raised by the government as part of their attempt to stabilise the housing market.

As posted above, they are due to return to their original (lower) levels soon.

There is no fixed period after which they get reviewed, they just change whenever the Chancellor of the day decides they should change. I believe, prior to them being raised to £150,000, they had not changed in well over a decade.
