Autumn Budget 2024: Key updates from our experts 💬 Development Agency: Capital Gains Tax increase was less severe than expected. Housebuilders welcome the additional £500m for the Affordable Homes Programme. Residential: No major surprises. Stamp duty hike on second homes will impact the buy-to-let market. Interest rates remain crucial, with base rate cuts expected. New Homes: Increased investment in affordable homes is great for new-build developers and first-time buyers. Higher Capital Gains Tax on second homes may reduce buy-to-let transactions. Farms Agency: Reduction in agricultural property relief will affect many farms, prompting sales and restructuring. Farmland values may soften if supply increases. Investment: Minimal impact on commercial property investment. Capital Gains Tax increases were not as severe as feared. Non-dom status changes will not affect most of the market. Business Rates: No radical reforms. Relief for the Retail, Hospitality, and Leisure sectors continues but at a reduced rate. Private schools to lose 80% charitable relief from 2025/26. Sustainable Energy: Continued support for clean energy projects, but more investment in the electricity grid is needed to meet ambitious targets. Stay tuned for a more detailed budget insight. #WeAreFG #AutumnBudget #PropertyMarket #AffordableHousing #Investment #SustainableEnergy

Working collaboratively across our property management, planning, and development agency teams, we have completed a multi-million-pound sale of a site in Rearsby, Leicestershire, which will see the development of 65 new homes on behalf of our client.   After decades of our property management team working with the private landowners to manage their portfolio, our planning team promoted the 8-acre site to the emerging local plan, which saw the proposed allocation of 49 dwellings in 2019. In spring 2022, the promoter Clarendon Land & Development Ltd retained our planning team to promote the land and develop a planning application, increasing the number of dwellings to 65.   Our development team then ran a successful sales and marketing campaign to dispose of the site, and Allison Homes has been selected to build the homes, with 40% allocated as affordable housing. Now, onto phase 2! #WeAreFG #Development #Planning #Leicestershire #Land #NewHomes #Property Ben Marshalsay | Liberty Stones
