520 _aRICS argue that the chancellor missed theopportunity to help first-time buyers to gain first step on housing ladder by failing to raise the upper limit to which zero stamp duty applies. The current level of £60,000 is too low given the price of property at the moment and a raise in the limit could give a welcome boost to the market.
