Property News this Week:

Ed Miliband has confirmed that the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) are considering offering financial support to landlords in the Private Rented Sector (PRS) to hit EPC targets. 
 
This is in response to widespread calls for the Labour government to provide more incentives for landlords to reach the new targets, which dictate that all PRS properties need to reach at least grade ‘C’ by 2030, unless they are exempt.

 

UK Housing Market Shows Promise in Q4 

The latest RICS Residential Survey for August 2024 reports a positive shift in the UK housing market, spurred on by the recent decrease in mortgage interest rates.
 
Buyer demand and sales activity are on the rise, with industry professionals anticipating further growth as we move into the final quarter of the year.
 

Labour’s Policies Could Impact UK Rental Market 

Jonathan Samuels, CEO of Octane Capital, has issued a stark warning to the new Labour government, cautioning that continued pressure on the UK’s buy-to-let landlords could push the already struggling rental market to the brink of collapse. With proposed changes in capital gains tax looming in the upcoming Autumn Statement, landlords are expressing growing concerns about the future of the sector.

That concludes this week’s updates. If you have any thoughts or questions about these headlines, feel free to reply—I’d love to chat with you about the latest market trends and discuss your investment goals.
