The estimated numbers of purchases benefitting from the Stamp Duty Land Tax relief for first-time buyers in the UK in each of the next five years are as follows:

England and Northern Ireland

2018/19

209,000

2019/20

213,000

2020/21

216,000

2021/22

219,000

2022/23

223,000

SDLT is devolved in Scotland and will be devolved to Wales from April 2018. The figures in the table therefore relate to England and Northern Ireland. HMRC is unable to provide estimates for first time buyers at a constituency level.
