EYE NEWS UPDATE: Property industry reacts to 2025 Autumn Budget statement
Original Article Summary
Will hitting landlords with National Insurance further shrink the availability of rental property?
PropMatch Curated Analysis
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a new mansion tax (£2,500-£7,500 annually on properties over £2m from 2028) and 2% property income tax increase from 2027. Industry experts warn these measures will accelerate landlord exits and reduce rental supply.
Investor Relevance
The mansion tax creates new holding costs for high-value properties while the property income tax hike directly reduces net yields for individual landlords. Both measures could accelerate the shift toward limited company ownership structures and influence acquisition, holding, and exit strategies across the residential investment market.
