Currently, owners of second homes in England can avoid paying council tax and access small business rates relief by declaring an intention to let the property out to holidaymakers.

However, concerns have been raised that many never actually let their homes and leave them empty and are therefore unfairly benefiting from the tax break.

Following a consultation, the government says it will now bring changes to the tax system, which will mean second homeowners must pay council tax if they are not genuine holiday lets.

From April 2023, second homeowners will have to prove holiday lets are being rented out for a minimum of 70 days a year to access small business rates relief, where they meet the criteria.

Holiday let owners will have to provide evidence such as the website or brochure used to advertise the property, letting details and receipts.

Properties will also have to be available to be rented out for 140 days a year to qualify for this relief.

Buyers HATE these. Imagine walking into a house that’s adorable from the outside and then being greeted with…

-water stains on walls or ceilings (yikes!)
-gross smells
-terrible lighting
-dated kitchen and bathrooms
-lots of noise
and clutter.

You probably would be a little let down, right? That’s because any of these things mean that the buyer will have to put in WORK to get the home the way they want it.

So if you’ve been trying to sell your home for a while and haven’t gotten any bites, take a good look at this list. Is your home making any of these mistakes? If so, definitely get them fixed!

If you’re getting ready to sell your home, make sure to get these problems taken care of before you take photos and list the property.

Stay far away from making any of these mistakes… Because they could spell doom for your real estate dreams!

After you've worked so hard to save your down payment and get your finances ready to buy a home, you don’t want to mess up your chances of getting your mortgage approved at the last minute.

That means avoiding anything that could mess with your credit like closing or opening credit cards or bank accounts and getting a car loan or other big loan.

You’ll also want to avoid activities that can trigger a red flag for your lender like spending a lot of cash all at once (they’re going to ask why) or changing jobs. Changing jobs is especially risky because your lender might think you aren’t able to keep a steady stream of income, which is bad news for getting approved.

After you get pre-approved, just play it safe when it comes to your finances. Limit your spending, keep your job, and keep your accounts open. Then you won’t have any problems closing on the home of your dreams!

It’s everyone’s favorite activity: budget making! Okay, it may not be your idea of a good time, but if you want to buy a home in these economically straining times you need a budget. Not only will it make it way easier for you to go through the mortgage process, but you’ll be able to clearly understand how much you can afford. Here’s how to make a budget:

1. Gather all of your financial statements: Get the paperwork from your savings and checking accounts, credit cards, car loans, paychecks, everything.

2. Calculate your income: Make sure you record your net income, with all the taxes taken out, here rather than your gross income.

3. Create a list of monthly expenses: Groceries, rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance, and gas are all common expenses, but don’t forget to factor in things like savings, subscriptions, and entertainment costs.

4. Determine fixed and variable expenses: Some things are the same every month like your insurance cost and your Netflix bill. But other things like groceries and utilities change.

5. Total it up: Add everything together to get your monthly income and expenses. Then subtract your monthly expenses from your monthly income to see how much wiggle room you have.

6. Make adjustments: Once you’ve gone through the budget process, you’ll have a good idea of what you’ll need to adjust going forward.

Making a budget is a crucial part of getting ready to buy a home. It’s not always the most fun process, but it can help you get into the home of your dreams.

Do you have Buyers' remorse? Well, it may not be a consolation but according to a recent poll by Aviva almost 50% of recent homebuyers have regrets.
🏡
We all know the property market has been 🔥 for the past year, some months being the hottest market we have seen in many years. Buyers were rushing to buy and complete ahead of the Stamp Duty Holiday deadline. We have all witnessed properties that went in a matter of days (we know of a few that went on the 1st viewing), gazumping, outbidding and panic buying.
Aviva found that the biggest regret was the amount paid. The 2nd one was time pressure (by agents and the general estate of the market). In London, 85% of the buyers felt under pressure.
🏡

Watch our last Reel so avoid mistakes when hunting for your first property. The market has now slowed down... but it has not cooled down. So plenty of buyers still looking. The best advice we can give is do your homework. Do research. Ask for help from experienced professionals, many of us (property consultants) can offer advice.
🏡
Make sure that what to many is the biggest invesment they will make in their lives, its the right one (and yes, that includes the price too). Be a savvy shopper 👍

There's never a perfect time to buy or rent and in a competitive market like the one we are seeing now, you need to be quick.

The best time to buy a property is when your circumstances say so... yes we recently had the incentive of cheaper Stamp Duty and very low mortgage rates.

There is talk everywhere that interest rates are going to raise📈 and so the costs of borrowing will increase.

However, even with an increase in the rates they are still low. In general, we are seeing the lowest rates in decades. In my book, then, if you need a mortgage to buy, this is the best reason why buying in the coming months would be the best thing to do.
Plus you may have a bit more wiggle room than in the last year.
