Firstrung: First time buyers are not priced out due to spending on luxuries or stamp duty
We receive regular feedback from priced out first time buyers regarding the initiatives the government could instigate in order to alleviate pressure on first time buyers; "build us out of this 'mess', tax second home owners yearly for their privilege, charge double community charge for vacant homes or holiday homes, introduce a swingeing tax at source when purchasing any other home than your first, regulate the buy to let market..." are just some of the pleas from our mailbag. However, hardly any priced out first time buyer calls for the abolition of stamp duty as they recognise a £1500 saving does not make a 150K home come within easy reach.

Would the cost of a cheap family holiday really ever have been something that stopped people from buying their family home!
I see in the news today Flash Gordon has decided Housing is now one of his top priorities now.
Well where exactly was it in his list of priorties before!!!???
