Despite the tax increase, investors in UK real estate has not lost optimism

The closer is the deadline, after which the real estate investors in the UK will not be able to buy property on the same terms as they buy it now. As announced in autumn 2015 from 1 April 2016, all investors will pay the additional Stamp duty of 3% when buying property.

Various analytical agencies argue between how the innovation will affect investor sentiment . Someone thinks that investors will turn away from the UK, someone thinks that will be a slight cooling of the market before the new lift.

Specialists mortgage lender Shawbrook did my research.

Approximately 56% of potential investors said that despite the increase in Stamp tax, they are going to make a purchase in the next 12 months. About 40% of investors in order to circumvent the upcoming changes are going to create a “Society with Limited Liability” , approximately 33% plan to increase rents .

Approximately 49% of respondents said that changes in taxation will be the biggest obstacle for those who wish to buy a property in England in the next 6 months. The remaining 61% hope that real estate prices in the United Kingdom will be able to adjust future tax increase and a positive look to the future.

It is obvious that the new changes will lead to a slowdown of the UK property market and investors will be more careful in your choice. However, it can be expected that in 2016 the market adapts to the changes and by the end of the year will go down to normal.
