121,500 first-time buyers have saved a total of
£284,000,000 thanks to the government’s cut to stamp duty, according to
official statistics which cover the period until 30th June this year. Over the
next five years, it is estimated that the government’s flagship housing policy

those who have bought properties of up to £500,000 will also have benefited
from a stamp duty cut. Read more on the GovUK website.
