There are not enough family sized homes for our younger generations.The property market requires a much needed boost. Expensive stamp duty rates are preventing older generations from freeing up their family sized homes. Many wish to downsize or move to a more age appropriate property but can't

It would free up much needed family sized property, helping younger generations, reinforcing the current first-time buyer stamp duty break. It would give the property market a much needed boost. Many over 50's remain in their larger or unsuitable properties because the cost of moving is too much. A stamp duty break would enable more people to move into a more appropriate property
