Stamp Duty reform, a new mortgage scheme and a controversial tax move — what could today's budget bring?
It’s Spring Budget 2024 eve, and property industry watchers are waiting to see what Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will announce today.
After an Autumn Statement where housing news was thin on the ground, there’s rumours that the sector could get more attention in an election year budget.
Some are keeping their fingers crossed for a reform to Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). A government-backed 99 per cent mortgage scheme has already been floated, as has the potential scrapping of non-dom tax status.
Homes & Property will be covering the budget live today at 12.30pm.
Until then, here are the last minute hopes and predictions from the experts.
