Background
Across the country thousands of homebuyers are facing unexpected financial pressure due to sudden changes to stamp duty. Many have spent months securing mortgages and navigating the legal process, only to be hit with significantly higher fees if they miss an arbitrary deadline.
For some, this could mean stretching their finances to the limit and for many more, it may mean losing their dream home entirely. We urge the government to extend the deadline - avoiding financial strain and disruption.
