Sam and Phil look at what might be coming up in the autumn budget, breaking down the rumours and how they might impact buyers, sellers, renters, landlords and estate agency owners.

Get insights on proposed capital gains tax changes and applying national insurance to rental income, and how these changes could influence seller and landlord behaviour.

How are AshodownJones anticipating market shifts, and keeping the agency team resilient? Sam and Phil walk through practical considerations for estate agents, and owners navigating the weeks to come.

Key takeaways:

➡️ Staying informed about tax and property market changes is crucial for estate agency owners to confidently advise clients and team members.

➡️ Uncertainty in legislation can shift market activity and seller decision-making, especially in the high-value segment.

➡️ Proactive, clear communication with your agency team helps maintain morale and keeps everyone focused during periods of change.

Notable quotes:

✅ “What kind of questions are clients asking? Is there any point in being on the market now, especially right at the top end?”

✅ “If they made rents really affordable and they incentivised landlords to buy more properties, then the general working public would have more money in their pockets.”

✅ “If all of a sudden you were having to pay huge Capital Gains Tax, you may as well just rent somewhere and keep it.”
