There were lots of announcements in the UK governments budget to do with property, but which ones affect First Time Buyers? 🤔

The key change is to Stamp Duty Rates and FTB Stamp Duty relief. These kick in for property purchases from 1st April next year, and you could pay up to £11,250 more tax if you don't complete before then! 💸

For the chart lovers amongst you I've put together some charts showing the impact for purchases at various different property prices 📈

Let us know if you are a FTB who might be impacted... but do it after you've chased your solicitor/estate agent and told them you need to complete before the 1st April 2025! 😅

Can we solve the housing crisis by just building more housing? 🤔🔨🏠
Not if it's the wrong type! Read our new blog to find out why the housing being built in cities is forcing families to leave, and schools to shut down >>>

All political parties agree that more housing needs to be built to address the housing crisis. But what they don’t often talk about is the type of housing the UK needs, rather than just the quantity.
