This stamp duty increase has really got me thinking. On one hand is it just a token to make people think they are trying to limit buy to let but not enough to actually stop investors? On the other hand is it actually enough to make people give up on the idea of property income and look at other investments?0

3k stamp duty on a 100k property wipes out return for at least the first year. It is designed to alter the market in favour of first time buyers. As you are having second thoughts, evidently it is having some impact.0
