The Future of Homes in the UK: Politics, Policy and Investment

Send us a textLondon’s property market is under real pressure — but also full of opportunity. New housing starts have dropped to the lowest level in the UK, with developers blaming overregulation, affordability targets, and fire safety rules that make many projects unviable. Mayor Sadiq Khan faces mounting pressure to ease planning and even reconsider parts of the Green Belt to restart stalled developments.At the same time, the commercial sector is reinventing itself — offices are turning into hotel-style spaces, and industrial sheds are delivering some of the strongest returns in the market. Investors are taking advantage of political uncertainty, spotting bargains in REITs like Big Yellow and Tri Tax, both seen as top long-term plays.Meanwhile, stamp duty remains a heavy burden, but creative investors are finding ways around it — from negotiating with developers to exploring REITs and alternative property types. And in the luxury market, tax clampdowns and global sanctions are cooling demand, with prime homes sitting empty as overseas buyers pull back.Change is coming — and those who adapt early will win.#LondonProperty #RealEstateNews #PropertyMarket #HousingCrisis #CommercialProperty #REITs #PropertyInvestment #LuxuryHomes #UKProperty #InvestSmart #PropertyInsights #GreenBelt #StampDuty #Developers #MarketUpdatePROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.

Send us a text The podcast discusses the potential introduction of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on principal homes in the UK. Tax expert Alan Kennedy explains how such a move could impact homeowners—particularly those downsizing or relying on property sales for retirement—by reducing profits after tax. He highlights risks of market stagnation, as people may delay selling to avoid CGT, especially since inheritance tax rules can reset property values at death. The conversation also explores possible reforms to Stamp Duty Land Tax, the idea of an annual property tax, and knock-on effects on wealthy individuals, landlords, and the UK property market. Kennedy warns that heavy taxation may push wealth creators and international investors out of the UK. Finally, they touch on Family Investment Companies as a potential structure for managing property and wealth more tax-efficiently. PROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.
