Closed 60 signatures

What the petition asks

For the government to recognise the great difficulty experienced by first time buyers to find thousands of pounds of stamp duty while also having to raise very large deposits in order to get on the property ladder and therefore for the government to alleviate this expense by waiving SDLT for FTBs.
