Mark Wells, CEO of Invisible Homes on the Autumn budget: "The decision to increase Stamp Duty Land Tax for buy-to-let landlords is a short-sighted policy that will have unintended consequences. While it may seem like a good idea to reduce competition for first-time buyers and thus lower prices, the long-term effects are far more complex. Firstly, it is a betrayal of those who have worked hard to get onto the property ladder, only to see their asset depreciate. What's the point of struggling to buy a home if it's just going to lose value? Secondly, this policy will drive up rental prices, leaving tenants with less choice and forced to pay more or face homelessness. Overall, this is a lose-lose situation. Either you buy and lose money, or you rent and lose money. It's time for a more nuanced approach to housing policy that considers the needs of all stakeholders, not just first-time buyers."

Is your client’s house being haunted by its time on the market?👻 After the September rush, many properties that didn’t sell immediately can end up lingering on the open market, burdened with scary date stamps and frightful price reduction tags. At Invisible Homes, we’re here to exorcise those buyer turn-offs and bring listings back from the dead. Our intelligent algorithm doesn’t just match buyers with their exact criteria - it suggests properties slightly outside of their search. This increases viewing enquiries by up to 45% and ensures that your listings reach different buyers than they would on Rightmove & Zoopla.   No date stamp. No price reduction history. No Google trace. Treat your vendors and list their property on Invisible Homes today: https://lnkd.in/eWFW7e8V.

"London is on the ropes. But suddenly the rest of Europe is looking even worse." Mark Wells, Founder and CEO of Invisible Homes features in today's PrimeResi Journal article 'Talking Heads: What property industry leaders fear most from the Autumn Statement 2024.' "We simply cannot afford a high-tax environment right now. We have to take this opportunity to grow ourselves out of debt. Increasing CGT will put off businesses thinking of locating in the UK, at a time when there’s virtually nowhere else to go. We need non-doms to bring wealth, not run away with it.” Read the full article from industry-leading partners of Invisible Homes, including Claire Reynolds of Sotheby's International Realty: https://lnkd.in/gVE6eWA3.

The Guardian reports that Rachel Reeves will not increase Capital Gains Tax on residential property. What does this mean for the London market? Chris Manderson, our Head of Sales (formerly Foxtons and GetAgent), shares his thoughts: ◾ More Investor Confidence, More Transactions. Put simply, the absence of a CGT hike for property is better for investor confidence in the UK property market. This stability encourages more buying and selling for profit, which should keep the market active, and avoid a potential glut of properties hitting the market prior to April. ◾ Investment Shift? If property avoids a significant rise, the potential increase of CGT on shares and other assets could potentially drive more investors toward property, making it a more attractive investment option. Rightmove has recently reported a 29% year-on-year increase in agreed sales, and at Invisible Homes, we've seen a 35% rise in new buyer registrations since summer. We’re optimistic that the market is looking positive. Explore the invisible advantage: https://lnkd.in/ebr5Rvgi.

Off-market properties sell 38% faster on average and typically achieve 5-10% higher prices compared to traditional listings. At Invisible Homes, we're on a mission to give you the edge with our modern, off-market platform. Our platform ensures only qualified, highly engaged buyers can register, with most searching in the £400,000 to £3,000,000 range. In addition, our intelligent algorithm suggests properties slightly outside a buyer’s criteria, increasing viewing enquiries by up to 45%. We also offer exclusive, qualified valuation leads to our member agents, providing a direct path to new instructions. Since September, these valuation leads have averaged a price point of £2,100,000, covering properties from £400,000 to £8,000,000. A recent success story comes from Wayne and Silver, one of our partner agencies in Hampstead. A homeowner initially registered as a buyer, received two valuation recommendations, and chose Wayne and Silver to handle the sale. Listing off-market on Invisible Homes, they quickly secured an offer close to the guide price of £800,000—an all-around win for the team. Ready to gain the invisible advantage?

A day in the life of your favourite Account Manager, Venetia Armitage (sorry Millicent Crawford). 7am: Head to the Holborn office for a morning workout in our favourite Fora gym. 8am: Venetia loves to read the industry news over a cup of coffee and chit-chat with the team whilst catching up on emails. She also checks last night's viewing requests and KPIs so she has a good gauge on well-performing properties and agencies. 10am: She digs into her Trello to-do list, adding new tasks and pestering you all for catch-up meetings. 11am: Today, she had a check-in meeting with an independent agency in Islington. This agent had recently had an offer accepted on a house with us, but another property needed some help. She re-sent it as a 'suggestion' email, meaning our AI matches it to Invisible Homes buyers who haven't seen it yet but we think they might like it. This often generates a few more viewings. 12pm: Venetia runs our Instagram - check it out here https://lnkd.in/eEixvwFB - so she plans some posts for the week, including a new series on 'hidden gem' neighbourhoods of London. 1pm: Time for some lunch and a stroll around Lincoln's Inn Fields with our favourite colleague, Chris Manderson's pup Mush. 2pm: Calls. She tries a Kensal Rise agency to discuss which listings they have off-market at the moment - no answer (💔). An agent who has moved from another agency answers and wants to bring their new company on board. The Kensal Rise agency calls back, and they post their 3 new listings as a pre-launch after a chat. 3pm: Back to back onboarding meetings with new agencies. She chats them through the pitch to sellers, demos our platform, and makes sure we know which postcodes to give them valuations in. 5pm: She finishes early with the team to head to The Rosewood Hotel for some drinks and a talk with The London Broker and Compass Development Marketing Group about the launch of Rosewood Residences Beverly Hills. Thank you Rupert Collingwood for having us!
