Inheritance tax change bringing pensions into IHT scope
Tuesday 6th April, 2027
The UK government is changing rules so most unused pension pots and pension death benefits will now count as part of a deceased person’s estate for Inheritance Tax, creating new reporting and payment responsibilities from the implementation date. This gives Rightmove’s PR team a chance to comment on how the change could affect homeowners’ and downsizers’ estate planning, property sale timelines and the UK housing market more broadly as more people reassess how to pass on property and pensions.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment — Rightmove can credibly comment as the UK property market authority on how IHT changes might alter timing of sales, downsizing trends, and estate planning-related listing activity, and can share data on search/listing shifts or agent guidance to lead the conversation.
