I have to admit, if a similar scheme was available in Scotland - I would have been 'in like Flynn'
BUT
In Scotland there were strict to conditions to the holiday, which did not favour/pander to the people buying 'expensive' property.
I have to say, that the Scottish system (of SDLT holiday) had more integrity and could never be criticised as being a 'license for the rich to get richer'
If your chain falls through due to lack of appreciation of the timeline - I don't have a lot of sympathy.
And in reality - have collapsed chains in the final 3 months of the scheme (in England) - had an adverse effect on the initiative?
Have the following lost significant financial support (as it was intended)?
- Estate agents
- Builders
- Solicitors
- Removal companies (An easy one for me to guess - as 'yes')
Don't forget though, that there was furlough support for some of the employees of the above - if there was a downturn.
