Andy Burnham’s Property Tax Plans May Impact Landlords
Landlords could face higher costs and a further squeeze on housing supply if Andy Burnham, as incoming Prime Minister, turns to property and personal assets to fund new policies. This warning comes from David Alexander, chief executive of DJ Alexander Scotland.
Alexander is urging Andy Burnham to proceed cautiously amid discussion of wealth taxes. The report highlights concerns that such tax changes could affect landlords and the wider housing market.
Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to monitor developments closely, as any changes to property taxation could influence landlord costs and the availability of rental properties.
