⭐️ The value of the property on which first-time buyers can claim relief, increases from £500,000 to £625,000.
 
The steps taken today mean 200,000 more people will be taken out of paying stamp duty altogether.
 
If you have a current purchase and have not exchanged OR completed you will benefit from this change.
