    I think posts like this can sometimes come across as entitled, not that i think that was your intention op.

    There has to be a cut off date, there was no error in the tax you paid and the tax you paid is exactly what you expected it to be and according to the policy at that point in time your transaction completed.
    Unfortunately we don't have a pitless pot of cash to give away to people

    As it has caused house prices to rise since your purchase more than the discount in stamp duty you should be greatfull you missed it.
    Absolutely this. Imagine paying that stamp duty over the life of a mortgage and how that affects your total cost of acquisition!
