First-time buyers have just eight months to beat the stamp duty changes that are set to hit the UK property market, experts warn.
The changes, which are due to come into effect in September, will see the stamp duty rate for first-time buyers increase from 3% to 5%.
This could add thousands of pounds to the cost of buying a home, making it even harder for young people to get on the property ladder.
According to This is Money, the changes will affect anyone who buys a property worth more than £300,000, with the rate increasing to 10% for homes worth over £1 million.
This is Money has spoken to experts who warn that the changes will have a disproportionate impact on first-time buyers, who are already struggling to get on the property ladder.
They say that the increased stamp duty rate will make it even harder for young people to save for a deposit and get a mortgage.

Another buyer, who is currently renting, said: ‘I’m really struggling to save for a deposit. The stamp duty changes will just make it even harder for me to get on the property ladder.’
