Really humbling to see how people have come off the field of play, put down their armoury and entered a new period of togetherness without competition politics. We have a chance to build on it for a better future. A healthy property market needs everyone. #agentstogether

Who would have thought it? People are fed up of being fed up and are househunting. Not paying stupid prices, mind! https://t.co/YGAwCUM6sg #houseprices #propertymarket #realitycheck

👍 Further positive signs in the UK property market, surprisingly even in London. The capital recorded the biggest year-on-year increase in the country, with 369 sales compared with 219 in 2017 - ⬆ 69%. Early days but good news. https://t.co/81MQPyvbSL

Good to see more and more first-time buyers are just choosing to get on with it rather than worry about Brexit-related fears. There were 360,000 first-time buyers in April, a 12-year high! That's fantastic news.

April marked the fifth month in a row that growth was below 1%. House prices were rising by about 5% a year at the time of the #Brexit referendum in 2016

“It doesn’t just affect the rich: the especially high rates at the top drive demand down into more modest houses, elevating prices throughout the entire housing market.” I will not stop on this - stamp duty tax MUST be reformed.

Sharp read on disastrous effects of Stamp Duty by @ASI. "Empirical evidence suggests that stamp duty land tax reduces economic activity far more than other levies per pound it raises". Thanks for sharing last week @MRJKilcoyne https://t.co/ZOgb4Z6X1N

Significant that another leading Tory, Boris Johnson, has highlighted Stamp Duty as an area in significant need of reform. Says it's "now choking parts of the UK property market" and that local government should be cutting it. The pressure’s growing! https://t.co/zkew2CK56R

@michaelbrucePB @MRJKilcoyne @ASI SDLT changes were political decisions that where it’s intention was to cool the market and help first-time buyers. In the governments eyes they have succeeded.

@michaelbrucePB @BenRamanauskas + has depressed + stagnated the market in all other industries that are dependent on the properties changing hands. Disastrous knock-on effect. Damn thing needs abolishing! #stampduty

Very encouraging to see a House of Lords report agreeing Stamp Duty has "seriously distorted the housing market". Spot on about the damaging effects it has had on both young buyers and older downsizers! Feels like momentum is growing. @MRJKilcoyne @ASI https://t.co/8jQlKnyep2

Brilliant to be on the @SkyNews @KayBurley show. We chatted about my next world record; 7 days on a treadmill, taking 90 mins a day to sleep. That’s 22.5 hours a day on the move. And she’s going to LIVE stream during the record attempt too, let’s hope I can still speak 😂

Reminds me of this by @BenRamanauskas from earlier this year. Key stat from that for me was "the rate of home moving would be 27 per cent higher if stamp duty was abolished." Stamp Duty = stagnated market! https://t.co/Lnu0KHuRdg

No surprise to see new numbers confirming how badly Stamp Duty is backfiring. @MRJKilcoyne of @ASI absolutely right to call it a disastrous tax. Prevents young people moving AND stops older home owners downsizing! I’m not going to stop saying this: urgent reform required.
