A Budget isn’t always people friendly but on this occasion, there was one particular matter that caught the attention of our Conveyancing team – First Time buyers will no longer have to pay stamp duty on houses to a maximum value off £500,000.00 and even more attractively this was extended to include buyers of shared ownership properties.
