In June 2024 Rishi Sunak unveiled a "new and improved" Help to Buy scheme which permanently abolish stamp duty for first-time buyers on homes up to £425,000, if he wins the general election. The Conservative manifesto - setting out the party's policy priorities for government - also includes a target of 1.6 million new homes over five years, slightly more than Labour is promising.

Stamp duty should be controlled by local regional government and % payed on average property price's for the local area.
@9ZSRHLC42mins42m
Stamp duty should only apply to people who own multiple properties. No stamp duty for single property owners regardless of value
@9Q3MXR65mos5MO
No but it should abolish stamp duty for over 50s so they can easily move in to smaller homes and free up their large family houses for younger people
@9PNB2M95mos5MO
Incentives for FTB are inflationary for house prices generally. Homes are very expensive, these policies make it even worse and also direct more profit to housebuilders (eg some policies are new homes only)
@9PKF6J45mos5MO
Stamp duty for a partnership where one party is a first-time buyer then a percentage discount should still apply.
@9PGJZTT5mos5MO
First time buyer spending £425,000??? Again concentrating on londoners. People local to me can’t afford a £100,000 home when paid so little, so help those that haven’t got nearly half a million pounds. That’s laughable.
@9PG852L5mos5MO
The government should abolish stamp duty for home purchases under £400,000 but only for people who own one home only.
@9PB8KTQ5mos5MO
Yes but should include homes under 300k as having this threshold excludes the north entirely as it’s very unlikely they’ll spend that much
