Episode 59: A Budget Special
Thursday, 4 December, 2025

Days after Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered her second budget, we take a deep dive into what the announcements mean for you. Rates of income tax from property income will increase by two percentage points from April 2027, a move which the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has recognised will hit landlords in the pocket, force rents up and hit the supply of homes. Other measures that will affect landlords include a so-called 'mansion tax' – a council tax surcharge which will be introduced for properties valued at over £2 million and will be introduced in April 2028. Our presenters Ben and Richard are joined by David Fell, lead analyst from Hamptons, Chris Norris, the NRLA's chief policy officer and Professor Christine Whitehead, Emeritus Professor of Housing Economics at the London School of Economics, to address all the key questions, from the likely impact of tax changes on the supply on homes, to the potential effects of the 'mansion tax' on larger HMOs.
