Backdate Stamp Duty to start of COVID Lockdown

The Issue

Rishi Sunak has revealed plans to temporarily suspend Stamp Duty payments up to £500k in England & NI.

As welcomed as the temporary changes are, thousands of movers who were encouraged to move during and post lockdown have missed out, sometimes by as little as a day! Often taking out high interest loans, borrowing from family or using much needed savings in a period of uncertainty with job retentions and redundancies! 

Please sign this petition to do the right thing and backdate the stamp duty charges to cover exchanges during lockdown.

Please also write a letter/ email your local MP asking for them to take further action.
