The government have announced a cut to stamp duty tax as part of a wider set of economic measures aimed at easing inflation.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax that is charged when you purchase a property or land over a certain price in England and Northern Ireland. The current threshold is £125,000 for residential properties and £150,000 for non-residential properties, but Mr Kwarteng has announced the government will double that to £250,000 from today (23 September).
For first-time buyers the threshold will also increase from £300,000 to £425,000. This means that anyone buying a property under £250,000 and any first-time buyers buying a property under £425,000 will not have to pay stamp duty tax.

The chancellor said in the House of Commons: "Home ownership is the most common route for people to own an asset, giving them a stake in the success of our economy and society.

"The Prime Minister promised we would be a tax-cutting government. Today, we have cut stamp duty, we have
