First time buyer stamp duty relief are the same for both North & Southerners. Increase the first time buy Stamp Duty threshold from 300K to 400K, so buyers pay 0% stamp duty on property that is £400K and less.","additional_details":"We support this as it is very hard for many to buy a decent house in the South for £300K, and this proposal of increasing the threshold for first-time buyers paying 0% stamp duty from £300K to £400K could help them to put that money elsewhere when they buy a house. The North of England is relatively cheaper when compared to towns in the South and it may be easy for people to buy a decent-sized house for £300K. Considering cost of living in South and increasing it to £400K for the first time buyers could provide a lot of relief.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":16,"created_at":"2026-03-29T19:22:24.400Z","updated_at":"2026-05-02T16:32:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-30T09:39:28.366Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-29T19:45:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Arun Bhoopathy","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"HMT","name":"HM Treasury","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-treasury"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":16}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Chichester","ons_code":"E14001166","mp":"Jess Brown-Fuller MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon South","ons_code":"E14001187","mp":"Rt Hon Chris Philp MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"New Forest East","ons_code":"E14001373","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Julian Lewis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Portsmouth North","ons_code":"E14001431","mp":"Amanda Martin MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"Portsmouth South","ons_code":"E14001432","mp":"Stephen Morgan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tottenham","ons_code":"E14001553","mp":"Rt Hon David Lammy MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":2},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":10},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
