Refund first time buyers' stamp duty in line with current legislation.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On 22nd November 2017 it was announced that, with immediate affect, stamp duty for first time buyers purchasing a property for under £300,000 would be abolished. What about all the other first time buyers who, just the day before, saved up and paid out thousands of pounds for stamp duty?
I paid £3300 stamp duty just 12 days ago! I could have delayed completion if we knew.
