With a new government in place and the release of the Autumn Budget, we’ve seen numerous changes introduced – from updates to ‘non-doms’ status and inheritance tax to shifts in stamp duty. Lucian Cook explores the context surrounding the run-up and immediate reactions to these new measures, and what they mean for prime property.

But despite some of these challenges, our recent client survey shows that buyer and seller sentiment is more positive when compared to earlier this year. In fact, 54% of respondents remain unchanged in their commitment to move in the next 6 months – which could mean a healthy spring market is on the horizon.

If you’re curious about how the next five years might look across the prime markets, our latest sales forecast gives you a deeper insight into what lies ahead, while our lettings forecast takes a closer look at other factors now at play in the rental market. The balance between supply and demand has been the key driver over the past few years – but there’s more to consider in the coming months, including increased supply from ‘non-doms’ property entering the market.

Shifting gears, Nick Maud explores the relationship between the prime housing market and super-luxe car ownership across Great Britain. Find out which areas have the most registrations for top car brands and where the desire for speed competes with the aspiration of owning a prime property.
