This is true, my partner is the one who’s pretty adamant he doesn’t want to build if he can help it, there’s definitely pluses to both, because if we buy…

Nah we don't, we still only get 10k because it goes off when you signed your contract not when you actually build, and we don't get the full stamp duty…
