Lancashire, UK (PRWEB UK) 31 December 2014 -- Find UK Property conducts regular surveys on expats who are looking to buy or have purchased property in the UK. Recently, in the budget, the chancellor announced changes to stamp duty that benefits buyers buying lower cost properties less than £1m. A recent survey conducted in November 2014 showed that these changes are already influencing their property decisions.
The survey showed that the percentage of clients looking at properties over £1m has fallen from a previous survey figure of 13% in a similar survey done in 2013 to just 4%. The top 3 reasons being given were lower yield on more expensive properties, lower stamp duty on lower cost properties and the possibility of a future annual mansion tax on high value properties.
Andy Noble, Senior Marketing Consultant at Find UK Property said “The main factor driving lower cost property sales is in fact rental yield, however savings on Stamp duty talk of possible future taxes on high value properties (under possible labour government) does help this trend”.
