Conservative Party

Agree

Yes

The Conservative Party has historically shown support for policies that aim to assist first-time home buyers and stimulate the housing market. For instance, they have implemented and extended the Help to Buy scheme and introduced stamp duty holidays during economic downturns to help buyers. Abolishing stamp duty for first-time buyers on homes worth less than £425,000 aligns with their broader objectives of promoting homeownership and could be seen as a continuation of their efforts to make housing more affordable for first-time buyers. However, the score is not a full 5 because the party also balances such policies with fiscal conservatism and might have concerns about the revenue implications of completely abolishing stamp duty in this bracket.

Disagree

No

While the Conservative Party is generally cautious about large-scale fiscal interventions that could significantly impact government revenue, they have demonstrated a willingness to adjust stamp duty in ways that support the housing market and first-time buyers. Their previous actions, such as temporary stamp duty holidays, suggest they are open to reforming stamp duty but might prefer targeted measures over outright abolition for specific price brackets. The negative score reflects a disagreement based on potential revenue concerns and the preference for targeted, rather than blanket, fiscal policies. However, it's not a full -5 because the party's recent history shows a nuanced approach to housing policy that includes support for first-time buyers.
