People that have already started the process should be able to benefit from the 500K exemption up to 30th September 2021. The extension has allowed other that were in the process to complete but due to new purchases happening at the same time people now buying are facing delays.

The Government should ONLY extend this for people that have agreed on a purchase before 30th June and give them till 30th September to complete to obtain the 500k benefit. This will reduce the last minute rush of everyone trying to complete at the same time with additional buyers adding to the backlog. We are in the same position as we were before the first extension with everyone rushing to complete by 30th June.
