We will create a new House Deposit Saving Scheme, similar to the SSIA scheme, for first time buyers seeking to fund a deposit for their first home. We will effectively abolish stamp duty for first time buyers by raising the exemption limit for first time buyers of second hand homes to €450,000. We will simplify stamp duty rates for all buyers by reducing the number of rates from 7 to 3.
