It shows how much dedication the government has to property, and how serious they are about keeping the market stable.
This level of attention shows us that, with the government on our side, now really is the time to build and grow your portfolio.
What does it mean for you?
For investors, the stamp duty you will have to pay will be cut sharply. The only duty to pay will be added levys to investment and second homes. It means if you were looking at the top end of the scale, your bill could be reduced from £30,000 to just £15,000.

ALL properties under £500,000 are eligible, unlike previous government schemes meaning it is not restricted to new builds.
Transactions are moving ahead at a rapid pace, but with the ending of the furlough scheme this could slow down, and with it comes a reduction in prices.
