In Property News this week:

• Move-In Times Hit 205 Days: According to new figures, it now takes over 200 days on average to move house.
• Cornwall Tax Crackdown Backfires: A doubling of council tax on second homes is forcing homeowners to slash prices by up to £100,000, as demand plummets in picturesque hotspots.

• The Landlord Exodus: With rising costs, new energy rules, and shrinking control, are landlords are quitting the market—or not?
