Wales is looking at whether it can take control of it’s stamp duty. Whether this would mean they could raise stamp duty as a fundraiser, or reduce it to encourage purchases is another matter.
Can an economy base itself on house sales for success? I don’t think so. Debt is bad! Have we learnt nothing from the credit crunch.

Possible one of the most whimsical buildings I’ve seen for a sale – Woodlands Vale is a Grade II* listed country home on the Isle of Wight between Seaview and Ryde.
It’s on at £3 million with 6 bedrooms and amazing views and the most magical outside!
It has a lift although it needs renovating at the moment. The original conservatory with double height ceiling and cupola was converted into a billiard room in 1894. It has a narrow path which leads towards the sea and ends about 100m away … I think it comes out about here
‘mates mortgages’ are the latest idiotic idea created from the mind of Mr Grant Shapps who is sadly the housing minister at the moment.
What a crazy idea.
Because house prices are so high people should be able to pool their money and buy a house with their mates.
Erm, because house prices will stay high if people keep buying them at these silly prices. Schemes that support high house prices (Shared equity, interest free loans on 25%) are insane and stupid.
If the problem is high house prices then there’s only one thing that should solve that – and that’s if they get lower.
If you’ve got a beko fridge or freezer you should check the numbers on it.
