Rogstanley Posted 22 November 2017 Share Posted 22 November 2017 (edited) As far as I can see there is no specific help for families. I think we're all used to broken promises from this Tory government but I've never seen one being broken within an hour of being made before.

David Guiza Posted 22 November 2017 Share Posted 22 November 2017 The property law solicitors in my firm are now utterly confused with regard to the stamp duty payments. At least with the change in the higher rate for second properties there was a definitive deadline and not an on the spot change. Unfortunate for those whom have completed within the past day or so too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was proper left wing mouth frothing today like a rabid dog. How anyone can say that guy is not a lunatic I don't know, so dangerous. Most of his speech was complete bollocks and he couldn't even speak properly half the time, if he wasn't t-total I would have sworn he was a pissed old fart.

I thought this, but seeing as neither the seller nor the agent sees any of it anyway why would it? Did the price of goods rise/fall in line with VAT when that changed? I can't remember.

The new tesla cars are the fastest ever built and have a range of over 500 miles from a half hour charge. Their new trucks are similar. The limitations have largely gone.

Guest Posted 22 November 2017 Share Posted 22 November 2017 Key item on the budget was the growth forecast. First time in modern history that every year into the future sees expected growth of under 2%. This figures shows the damage, which is caused by Britain’s weak productivity. Growth: 2017: 1.5%, down from 2% in March’s budget 2018: 1.4%, down from 1.6% 2019: 1.3%, down from 1.7% 2020: 1.3%, down from 1.9% 2021: 1.6%, down from 2.0% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a renter, can you tell me how much does stamp duty cost on an average house purchase? I've always assumed a buyer just looks at the overall cost compared to the mortgage they can get and so this sort of thing doesn't really have an impact. I may be well off the mark?

I have just been quoted £1500 for a 200k purchase, which although is a relatively small in the grand scheme of borrowing it's an amount outside of the mortgage agreement and when you're already strapped for cash it does make a big difference!

We also saw this fantastic backtracking earlier which made me think maybe there was a glitch in the Matt-bot today. 5 hours ago, MattP said: Just over a month to go for Corbyn to keep his promise at Glastonbury that he'll be Prime Minister by Christmas. 5 hours ago, MattP said: I suppose it's not strictly a promise, more just a lie. 4 hours ago, MattP said: Fair enough, we'll go with dumb prediction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah okay the fact it falls outside the mortgage is something I have no experience of to know about. The flip side is an extra £10 billion into the inflationary help to buy scheme.

Depends how much you're purchasing the property for and if you own additional properties. Before today, if you were a first time buyer buying a property for less than 125,000 you'd pay nothing. Anything over 125,000 to the value of 250,000 you'd pay 2% of that value. so if you're buying for 135k it would be 2% of 10k. My worry with this is that sellers will add the possible Stamp Duty savings onto the house price? Edited 22 November 2017 by EnderbyFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OBR has already said it will raise prices and will therefore be more beneficial to current homeowners than first time buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
