HMRC to Carry Out In-Person Valuations for Mansion Tax
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will deploy valuation agents to conduct in-person property inspections. These inspections aim to determine which homes fall under the new High Value Council Tax Surcharge, also known as the mansion tax.
According to PropertyWire, the inspections will assess whether properties meet the £2 million threshold for the mansion tax, which is set to take effect in April 2028. This development may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks managing high-value properties, as it could affect property categorisation and council tax obligations.
