Budget 2005 - Implications for the Housing Market

Cut in stamp duty will boost residential property market and underpin house price inflation in 2005

Move to help First Time Buyers

The budget will deliver a further boost to the residential property market. The reduction in stamp on second hand house purchases for first-time buyers will favour existing rather than newly constructed houses. This should boost second hand house price inflation in early 2005 and ensure the property market remains strong through the coming year.

There will be no stamp duty on first-time buyers of second-hand houses up to €317,500 in value and reduced rates on such purchases up to €635,000.

Note for owner occupiers of new property: There is no stamp duty payable by owner occupiers on new properties below 125 sq. m. (1345 sq. ft.). The owner occupier must reside in the property for a minumn of 5 years otherwise be liable for full repayment of the stamp duty.

For new properties greater than 125 sq. m. the duty is payable on the greater of the site cost or 25% of the total cost ie. the site and all construction costs.
