That said, the idea tories could replace the lost income via public sector savings is bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.

The difference is stamp duty is a big lump sum cost i.e. to move house, SDLT can cost 6-12 months of income for most people, which is a big mental barrier and a major reason the housing market is stuck. Oddly that same amount added to the value of the house isn't the same as its an 'investment'

You can always move north and continue to have the great British summer from 10 years ago
