This week's trends Plan Ahead

Property taxes back in the spotlight

Calls to overhaul council tax are growing, from new higher bands and a “mansion tax” to a proportional property tax. Expect debate on who pays more and where, with London boroughs particularly exposed (analysis here).

First-time buyers squeezed, but new routes open

Deposits are drifting further out of reach (Moneybox analysis), even as fixes fall and new products like Leeds BS’s Start Mortgage emerge. Savills’ city rankings show alternative entry points beyond London (top 10 list).

Climate and nature risks hit home values

Heat, floods and invasive plants are moving from theory to street level. The BBC notes extreme weather is the new normal, knotweed warnings spread across counties (Oxfordshire), and insurers push Flood Performance Certificates to price resilience.

Updates every Monday. Last analysed Monday 20^th July.
