Spring Budget 2024

It has been a busy Budget for the real estate sector today, particularly for the residential sector.  The big announcement was the proposal to abolish SDLT’s multiple dwellings relief (“MDR”).  This came as a surprise and for those seeking to rely on the relief for a completion on or after 1 June 2024, they may have been racing to exchange today to lock in MDR on the acquisition.  However, there was some good news for those trying to access the housing market.  The government is proposing to withdraw the furnished holiday letting regime and reduce the higher rate of CGT for those who pay CGT on selling residential properties as these are intended to improve access to housing. But elsewhere reform for SDLT was relatively light.  The government did not respond to lobbying in a few targeted areas. A downsizer’s relief and keeping the current lower thresholds beyond March 2025 were not mentioned.  In further good news the government gave the green light to a new non-authorised fund vehicle, to be called the reserved investor fund or “RIF”.
