Sam Butler's Comment on The Chancellor's Autumn Statement
There were no measures which directly relate to property. No changes to Inheritance Tax allowances nor Stamp Duty.
The buying and selling of houses, and both the desire and ability to move, are of course driven by a household’s financial considerations i.e. the cost of mortgages, affordability and whether the house being bought is going to be worth more tomorrow than today. However, confidence is a major factor and it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to the 2% reduction in National Insurance and no increase in small business rates. Equally, the lack of further increase in interest rates, and inflation halving, will be positive factors; the direction of travel is improving.
We know there are those wishing and needing to sell and our mailing list is full of buyers wanting to move into or around the Cotswolds. We suspect, and anticipate, everyone will feel more positive in the New Year which will stimulate activity.

Cotswold Residential Market - Stow-on-the-Wold – Helen Whitfield
The residential market around Stow-on-the-Wold has been incredibly active during this current period of political uncertainty, and there have been some notable sales. Many properties are still selling privately under competitive bidding. That being said, the headline guide price needs to be realistic, and the best results are still on the turnkey properties.
