Text of Petition:
It is unfair that the WAG
not follow suit as the rest of the UK on the stamp duty holiday announced by
the chancellor on 8th July. At present the holiday only applies to first time
buyers or those moving up the property chain in Wales. It would benefit the
economy more for this holiday apply to prospective landlords, or families
wanting to buy a holiday home, or other cases. In England a saving can be made
of £15,000 whiles in Wales a maximum of £2,450. Why are we always the poor
neighbour!!!
