The revenue will have to be found from somewhere else.0

Can't really see much benefit to a poll when we'll know the answer in a few hours anyway. And there's a thread already on the go that has been discussing this for the last few days.0

best polls i've seen on a forum in ages
a simple yes / no
rather than a bunch of complicated catagories which are still never all encompassing
in less than a day we can see if we were right or wrong
it's not looking good though so far, 90% no0 -
Voted an optimistic YES!
Hoping so as we are 2 weeks into buying a £275,000 house! Even if it is a 1% up to £250,000 and then 3% on anything after would be great for us!0 -
Think I might vote after 12:30.
Undoubtedly it would be nice given the silly house prices in Surrey, even as a first time buyer it's quite likely to effect me.
Then again, perhaps I'd be losing a bargaining chip to push the price of a house down to 250k.*Assuming you're in England or Wales.0 -
I don't see it happening, there was a slight rumour 6months ago about it
then since, very little
it will be a big suprise if it happens this budget0 -
despite buying a bit too near 250k threshold, i don't think the housing [STRIKE]bubble[/STRIKE] market needs further stimulus at the moment, so I'd vote no.
There are much better things for the govt to spend our money on.0 -

It didn't. Well only that if you why a house over 500k through a company you'll pay 15% stamp duty.
Dull budget. Dull in that there was nothing for me:D0 -

You don't have an income, savings or pension? The welfare cap may impact you then.0
