ASK160: What does the 2018 budget have in store for property investors?
Today we’re breaking away from the traditional Ask Rob & Rob to bring you a 2018 budget special.
Did the Chancellor have any nasty surprises for property investors?
Are the Robs likely to have a wobble at what else Philip Hammond is throwing at the sector?
There’s no doubt that property investors have taken a hammering over the past few years so understandably, there was every reason to be a tad nervous as the 2018 budget aired across the UK.
Even if you listened to the 2018 budget live as it happened, there were a few property related items which didn’t make the main agenda. But, the Robs have delved deep into the detail to fill you in on this 2018 budget special of Ask Rob & Rob.
On this special, Rob & Rob will cover:
- A new stamp duty update which widens the net of people who benefit. And it’s being backdated,
- A housing infrastructure fund which will help property developers create an additional 650,000 new homes
- Lettings relief - reducing the capital gains tax you need to pay
- News on Help to Buy
It’s short and sweet this week so grab a coffee, hit the play button and enjoy this week’s Ask Rob & Rob.
