Nationwide Launches GBP 1,000 Cash-Back Offer to Help Ease the Pain of the Return of Stamp Duty
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 03/05/12 -- Building Society has today announced details of a new "stamp duty" offer which means who reserve a mortgage with the Society get GBP 1,000 to put towards paying the stamp duty on their property.
The current stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers is due to come to an end on 24 March 2012. Based on the average first-time buyer property of GBP 140,000, borrowers taking their first step onto the housing ladder would need to find an additional GBP 1,400.

On top of this, first-time buyers saving for at least six months in the Society's can earn up to an additional GBP 1,000 cash-back - therefore giving qualifying borrowers up to GBP 2,000.
Martyn Dyson, Nationwide's head of Mortgages, said: "The loss of the stamp duty holiday has been a blow for first-time buyers as they now potentially have to save more than a thousand pounds on top of a deposit.
"Nationwide is committed to doing what we can to help support this important part of the market. The Society already offers a GBP 500 discount on product fees and our unique Save to Buy savings account which enables savers to qualify to with just a five per cent deposit.
"Add to this to our new cash-back offer and it shows we are really are doing more for first-time buyers."
