Long before central heating, the number of fireplaces in your home could affect your tax bill.

Introduced in 1662, the Hearth Tax charged households according to the number of hearths they had — making the fireplace not only the heart of the home, but a liability to the taxman.

Records from the tax still survive across Lincolnshire and are now used by historians to help understand the homes and households of the 17th century.

Rather apt as we head into the season of lighting the fire. 🔥

So… it’s ‘carry on regardless’.

Despite escalating inflation due to the ongoing Iran conflict — and both America and Europe (twice) increasing their base rates recently — the Bank of England has voted to hold at 3.75% for now.

That may give some comfort for mortgage rates as we enjoy the last of the summer sunshine, but there is already an autumn chill in the air as most are looking towards Healey’s first Budget in late October.

Will the market be robust enough and have a chance of recovering further with this ‘rate‑breather’, as much as our parched gardens have so far before winter sets in?

We’ll be watching closely and sharing updates as the autumn story develops.

A move doesn’t have to be imminent to be worth a conversation.

You may be wondering what your home is worth, whether now is the right time to sell, or what you could do to prepare for a move further down the line.

That’s where a market appraisal can help.

For us, it’s not simply about putting a figure on your property. It’s an opportunity to talk about what you’re hoping to achieve, look at how your home sits within the current market and consider the timing and approach that could work best for you.

You may decide to sell now. You may decide to wait. Either way, you’ll have a clearer idea of your options — and what your next move could look like.

Norton Rickett. Helping you move in the right direction.
