Responding to the chancellor's announcement on stamp duty today, Eric Leenders, Managing DIrector of Personal Finance at UK Finance, said:
The chancellor's announcement on stamp duty should give a welcome boost to the housing market and in turn have positive knock-on effects for the wider economy. ?This measure designed to re-boot the housing market builds on the wide package of support put in place by mortgage lenders, working with the regulator and HM Treasury, to help customers through these tough times. ?The industry has a clear plan to help homeowners whatever their financial situation and is committed to providing ongoing support to those customers who need it.
