Question to the HM Treasury:
What assessment he has made of the effectiveness of changes to stamp duty in helping first-time buyers.
This question was answered on 27th February 2018
The stamp duty relief for first-time buyers announced at Autumn Budget 2017 has already helped thousands of people getting on to the property ladder, and is expected to benefit over one million first-time buyers over the next five years. The reform is part of a wider package to improve the housing market and significantly increase the supply of housing in the UK.
