GREAT NEWS FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS IN THE BUDGET

November 27, 2017 7:34 pm Published by

The Chancellor has taken this opportunity to rethink stamp duty which will be abolished for first-time buyers. It should also be remembered that the average deposit outside London stands at £24,000 or £72,000 in the capital – the average stamp duty bill for a first-time buyer is around £2,500 on average.

There will be no stamp duty for first-time buyers for properties worth up to £300,000 and people buying a home worth up to £500,000 in high price areas like London will not have to pay stamp duty on the first £300,000.
