STAMP DUTY

As much as I would not like to dampen his parade, I do not think that the increase in stamp duty level for FTBs wil make a lot of difference until lenders reduce the amount of deposits required bringing in a higher loan to value. If someone has to save a 15% deposit just to get on the housing ladder a further 1% stamp duty will not make a major difference to the client buying the house, other than possibly bringing the purchase forward a few months.

STAMP DUTY

Could anyone tell me if this applies to me, I am a first time buyer but am buying a property with my girlfriend who isn't so would we be able to take advantage of this?
