In this week's Market Wrap, we break down the latest updates from the UK 2024 Autumn Budget and what they mean for property investors, second-home buyers, and landlords. Key changes include an increase in Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on additional properties (now 5% for UK buyers, 7% for international buyers) and raised Capital Gains Tax rates. 

While acquisition costs rise, we explore potential upsides in the rental market, such as increased rental yields driven by tenant demand. Plus, a £500 million investment in affordable housing aims to support a balanced property market long-term.

Join Stu as he unpacks the impact of immigration on the UK economy, housing market, and public services.

What does this mean for landlords, investors, and the future of the property market? Plus, I’ll share insights into smart property strategies for the years ahead.
