Jeremy Raj, National Head of Residential Property at Irwin Mitchell, said:
“The continued and deepened assistance for first time buyers via SDLT is to be welcome and given the delayed nature of most of the measure announced today, it is a pleasant surprise that this relief will be retrospective.
“Additional funding for the housing infrastructure fund will need to be closely monitored as the supply site problems in the market are well documented and it is essential they are addressed in reality rather than just in theory.”
