juvenal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Estate Agents report Govt uncertainty/indecision is already causing the few buyers out there to pull out. Robert Peston had an interview scheduled today with AD, but a Treasury official cancelled it when Peston said he would be raising the Stamp Duty question. Callers to R4 confirmed they are pulling out of house purchases. Another striking own goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynic Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This is all so hysterically funny. Either a) there'll be a stamp duty holiday, which, if it leads to any 'recovery' in the market at all will be stamped out with knobs on when the holiday ends (see Lawson's double-MIRAS market booster, at precisely the end of which we had GC1). b ) there'll be no stamp duty holiday in which case GC2 continues unabated. Meanwhile, while we're in the hinterland between possibilities a) and b ), the net effect is...... ....GC2 continues unabated..... ROFL!!!!!
