PM: Duty cut has helped thousands of first-timers

5th January 2018

Theresa May says stamp duty cuts are helping 4,000 first time buyers a week to get on the housing ladder, with 16,000 property market entrants having taken advantage of the reform since it was outlined in the Autumn Budget. She said Conservative plans to “fix the broken housing market” stem from a “personal mission to build the homes this country needs so we can restore the dream of home ownership for people up and down the UK.” Commenting on her party’s stance on delivering homes for young people, the Prime Minister said she wanted to make sure the housing ladder “is not just a dream of your parents' past, but a reality for your future".
