Whatever they do about stamp duty won't be replicated in Wales no doubt, which a relief in a way. House prices near me have gone crazy a 3 bed Semi detached house down the road just sold for £210k I know it doesn't sound a lot but I live in a small village and it's not the most sought after area, the property was bought 4 years ago for £120k. Salaries outside of Cardiff are pretty low too, I just can't fathom what is going on.
We bought our first house 30 years ago for £65k in one of the villages in Slough. That was the same cost as my flat in the best end of Guildford was worth. My wages at the time were about £20k so 3.5* wages.
The same house is now £500-600K a similar job to mine then is probably £35-40k so 10-20 * wages.
