WTF Did the Budget Just Do to UK Property?
The 2025 Budget just quietly rewrote the rules of UK property… and most people have no idea what’s coming. In today’s video, I break down the 4 big blows hidden inside the Budget documents that will reshape buying, selling and investing over the next 24 months: 1️⃣ The new “Mansion Tax” framework (and why it won’t stay at £2m) 2️⃣ The biggest landlord tax rise since Section 24 (22%, 42%, 47% rental income tax) 3️⃣ Stamp Duty rising without rising — the stealth tax nobody spotted 4️⃣ The Personal Allowance freeze until 2031 — and how it crushes affordability These changes don’t look huge on their own… But together they represent the biggest shift in UK property ownership since the late 90s. 🏠 Why listen to me? I’m Will Gale, founder of the British Home Group — including British Homebuyers and British Homesellers — and our companies are involved in thousands of property transactions a year across the UK. We currently have 700+ homes on the market, so we see the data in real time: 📉 how the market froze before the Budget 📈 how demand has surged immediately after 🔍 and how these tax changes will ripple through prices and availability 🔥 What you’ll learn in this video: Why the Mansion Tax will hit far more than 165,000 homes How the new rental income tax bands work in practice Why stamp duty is rising every year even though rates aren’t How frozen income tax thresholds affect mortgages and house prices Why small landlords will exit and institutions will step in What the next 12–24 months mean for homeowners, landlords and first-time buyers 📈 The Bigger Picture This Budget didn’t “help buyers” or “fix affordability.” It laid the groundwork for: Higher long-term taxes on property Lower mortgage affordability More small landlords selling up More institutional ownership Fewer households owning homes outright You will own property in the future — or someone else will own it for you. This video explains why. ▶️ Watch Next (Very Important): If you want to understand why the Government is moving in this direction, watch these next: 👉 Who’s Really Buying Up Britain?
