First-time buyer relief, compared

First-time-buyer relief exists in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, but not in Wales — a genuine policy difference, not an oversight.

First-time buyer relief by nation
Nation	Relief	Price cap
England & Northern Ireland	Reduced rate up to the price cap	£500,000 (withdrawn entirely above this — a cliff, not a taper)
Scotland	Wider nil-rate band	No price cap on eligibility
Wales	None	Not applicable — the Welsh Government's stated position is that the high nil-rate band (up to £225,000) already serves the same purpose.
