In this episode of Moving with Clarity, Chris is joined by Joanne from Clarity to discuss the potential changes coming to the property market following the Labour Party Conference and ahead of the Autumn Budget.
With the Budget expected on 28 October, there has been plenty of speculation about possible measures that could affect home buyers, first-time buyers and people currently in the conveyancing process.
Joanne explains what we currently know — and, just as importantly, what we don't know yet.
In this episode, we discuss:
🔹 Potential changes to support first-time buyers
🔹 The proposed return of a Help to Buy-style scheme
🔹 Possible 2.5% deposits and government-backed loans
🔹 Who might actually qualify as a first-time buyer
🔹 Why some buyers and sellers may be waiting for the Budget
🔹 How potential Stamp Duty changes could affect transactions
🔹 Whether buyers should wait or start the process now
🔹 What could happen to property transactions around Budget Day
🔹 Proposed upfront conveyancing/home information packs
🔹 How these packs could speed up the buying process
🔹 The potential impact on sellers and the cost of putting a property on the market
🔹 Why leasehold information can cause delays
🔹 What buyers and sellers should be thinking about right now
⚠️ Please note: This episode was recorded before the Autumn Budget and therefore discusses potential and speculative changes based on the information available at the time. Nothing discussed should be taken as legal or financial advice. Always seek professional advice based on your own circumstances.
If you're thinking about buying or selling a property, this is an important conversation to listen to before making any decisions.
