answer text <p>Evidence gathered will help government work out the best way to raise accessibility standards and we will respond the consultation – once we’ve had the time to give full consideration to the responses received.</p><p>However, most homes were built before standards were introduced; this is why the Disabled Facilities Grant is so important. By the end of this financial year, the Government will have invested over £4 billion through the Disabled Facilities Grant, funding home adaptations – including stair lifts, wet rooms and ramps - to almost 450,000 homes since 2010.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The temporary SDLT relief was designed to stimulate immediate momentum in a property market where property transactions fell by as much as 50 per cent during the COVID-19 lockdown in March. This momentum in the property market has supported jobs which rely on custom from the property industry, such as retailers and tradespeople.</p><p> </p><p>First Time Buyers will benefit from the increase in available properties and save up to an additional £10,000 in SDLT, on top of the £5,000 they could already save under First Time Buyers relief. When the nil rate band steps down to £250,000 in July, first-time buyers still benefit from their first-time buyer SDLT advantage.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also introduced help for first-time buyers, particularly those with smaller deposits, through the new mortgage guarantee scheme which will help to re-introduce 95% loan to value mortgage products to first-time buyers.</p> more like this
