Thisismoney.co.uk - How much will stamp duty cost first-time buyers from April - and can they still buy a home before it kicks in?
Thisismoney.co.uk reports the Government has 'turned its back' on first-time buyers according to property experts, with stamp duty costs set to skyrocket from 1 April next year.
Aaron Strutt, product and communications director at mortgage broker Trinity Financial says: "Buyers will need to find a property with either no chain or a less complex one and choose a good solicitor.
"Mortgage lenders normally take between two and three weeks to provide an offer and confirm how much they will lend and that the property is suitable. The legals and property searches can take a lot longer."
