Property flipping hits lowest level in a decade after tax raid
The number of homes flipped by property investors is at its lowest level in 12 years as it becomes harder to make any kind of profit. Homes bought and sold within a year accounted for 2.3 per cent of all sales in the first three months of the year, the lowest proportion since 2013, according to the estate agency Hamptons. It found that that 7,301 properties were flipped between January and March in England and Wales, well below the ten-year average of 10,000 homes per quarter. The average gross profit made on these properties was £22,000, an increase of £6,000 on the same period last year but down from £38,000 in 2022. It comes after Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, raised the stamp duty surcharge on additional properties from to 3 per cent to 5 per cent in her budget in October. The property value threshold at which you start paying stamp duty was also lowered in April, meaning bigger bills for all homebuyers, when temporary reliefs introduced by Liz Truss in 2022 ended. Aneisha Beveridge from Hamptons, said: 'The 5 per cent surcharge for investors, coupled with the value at which buyers start paying stamp duty being reduced, means it's harder than ever to make the sums stack up.' 'The extra 5 per cent stamp duty surcharge for those buying additional properties comes on top of the rates that apply for main homes — these are 2 per cent on the value of a property between £125,001 and £250,000 and 5 per cent for the amount between £250,001 and £925,000. From £925,001 to £1.5 million the charge is 10 per cent, and above that it is 12 per cent. The 5 per cent surcharge does not apply on properties worth less than £40,000. The stamp duty surcharge on additional properties was introduced in April 2016 under the Conservative government. Before this, an investment property could be bought at the same stamp duty rate as one bought by an owner occupier, with an average of £1,900 paid per property in the first three months of 2015. The average was £6,375 in the first three months of this year. Hamptons calculated that on properties flipped in the first three months of the year, stamp duty had lost owners 21 per cent of the average gross profit. In April the property value threshold at which buyers start paying stamp duty fell from £250,000 to £125,000 — for first-time buyers it fell from £425,000 to £300,000. This has heaped further costs on property investors, with the average stamp duty bill for someone buying an additional property now £11,920. • UK house prices fall as stamp duty hits demand Beveridge said: 'If you take into account the new thresholds, stamp duty bills for property investors account for nearly a third of gross profits. And in some cases, these bills are now higher than the cost of renovating the property. 'This, together with rising material and labour costs and, in some places, falling house prices, makes flipping homes an increasingly tricky business.' According to Hamptons, 80 per cent of homes flipped between January and March were sold for more than they were bought for, but only 66 per cent made a profit once stamp duty was accounted for. This didn't include any spending on renovations. • Should landlords get more tax breaks? The northeast is the area with the highest proportion of homes being flipped, with about 4.7 per cent of all homes sold being those bought less than a year before. This was nearly double the average for England and Wales of 2.3 per cent, and three times the 1.5 per cent of flipped homes in London. The three local authorities with the highest proportion of flipped properties were all in the northeast. Redcar and Cleveland was highest with 7.6 per cent, then Co Durham with 6.6 per cent and Hartlepool with 6.5 per cent. Only one of the top 20 local authorities for flipped homes was in the south of England — Torridge in the Devon. Beveridge said: 'These rising upfront costs have pushed investors further north, where properties can still be bought without paying any stamp duty. It's also where more house price growth has been concentrated over the past few years.'

Neil Kinnock: Labour should bring in ‘wealth tax' to balance books
Sir Keir Starmer should introduce a wealth tax to fill the £5 billion hole in the finances left by the government's welfare climbdown, Labour's former leader Lord Kinnock has said. In a provocative intervention that will appeal to sections of the party's backbenchers, Kinnock said taxing the highest earners in the country would be popular with the 'great majority of the general public' and help Rachel Reeves fill her budget shortfall. He suggested that the tax could be levied on assets of more than £10 million and raise as much as £11 billion for the Treasury. He warned that the chancellor had become boxed in by her own words that ruled out further borrowing to cover day-to-day spending or raising income tax, national insurance or VAT. • Is reform of the welfare system still possible? 'Unless you are looking for other original sources of revenue in order to invest in public services and long term investment, then you are really jammed into a bit of a corner,' he told Sky News. However, Kinnock said that there were other 'pathways' to raise money that some within Labour were 'willing to explore' and that would 'commend themselves to the great majority of the general public'. He said: 'They include asset taxes in a period in which for the last 20 odd years in the United Kingdom, like quite a lot of other western economies, earned incomes have stagnated in real terms while asset values have zoomed. 'Even by going for, an imposition of two per cent (tax) on asset values above £10 million, say, which is very big fortune. The government would be in a position to collect £10 or £11 billion a year.' There are calls from the left of the party for Reeves to consider increasing taxes on wealth to pay for higher spending. Louise Haigh, the former transport secretary who quit the cabinet last year, has said that the tax system 'punishes earned income but barely touches the sides of the real driver of inequality — wealth'. Rachael Maskell, who was one of the leaders of the backbench Labour rebellion which forced the government to drop its welfare reform suggested that as much as £24 billion a year could be raised by equalising capital gains tax — and through income tax. Before the election, Reeves said that the government had 'no plans for a wealth tax'. • Keir Starmer's Labour as chaotic as Tories, voters say Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary, warned on Sunday that the climbdown on welfare reform would impact other areas of government tax and spending. Downing Street sources told The Sunday Times plans to shelve the two-child benefit cap were 'dead in the water' while the likelihood of tax rises has increased. When asked if there was now less chance of the cap being scrapped given the costs that come with Tuesday's decision, Ms Phillipson told the BBC that ministers were 'looking at every lever and we'll continue to look at every lever to lift children out of poverty'. But she added: 'The decisions that have been taken in the last week do make future decisions harder.' Reeves is looking at a number of potential tax-raising measures ahead of the budget, including a further freeze to income tax thresholds that would increase the number of people paying the higher rate of tax. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said that Reeves may need as much as £30 billion to cover the cost of reversals on welfare reform and winter fuel payments coupled with downgrades to economic growth forecasts. But the Treasury is likely to be reluctant to look at wealth taxes as it is feared this could increase the flight of the super-rich from the UK, damaging investment and growth. Reeves is already considering softening changes to inheritance tax that affect wealthy non-doms. Sir Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, said a new wealth tax would be the 'worst thing to do'. He said: 'We've also seen around 10,000 to 15,000 high net worth individuals leave our country as a result of this government's policies. Now, some people, the socialists, might say, 'Well, who cares about that?' Well, the problem is that the amount of tax that those people have been paying requires about a third of a million people on average earnings, to cover that lost tax that's just gone straight out of the door. 'So the last thing we want to be doing now is piling further taxes on the wealth creators. We need to be, if anything, getting those taxes down, and empowering them to go out and do what they do best, which is creating jobs, and, you know, creating wealth and prosperity for our country.'

Business live: Trump to send out tariff letters at noon
Alpha Group International, the London-listed financial services group chaired by Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia, has extended the deadline for a firm offer from US rival Corpay. The company said it has 'held constructive discussions with Corpay, which are advancing, and believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders to continue this engagement'. The Takeover Panel has consented to moving the deadline from today until July 24. Corpay is a S&P 500 company. It has been in discussion with Alpha about a possible cash deal since May. PHP: The healthcare real estate investment trust has reported 'improving rental growth and stabilisation in yields', which it claimed underpinned valuation growth and was further evidence of an inflexion point in the cycle. Last month, the board of PHP recommended that shareholders accept a cash and share takeover bid from rival Assura, which then valued the business at £1.79 billion, dropping its previous recommendation for a rival bid from KKR and Stonepeak, the American private equity firms. Shell: In a brief trading update before publishing second-quarter results at the end of the month, the oil company said that 'trading and optimisation' revenues are expected to be significantly lower than in the first three months of the year. Plus500: The online trading group has reported a 4 per cent rise in revenue to $415.1 million in the six months to the end of June. The FTSE 250 group said it would announce new shareholder returns, comprising dividends and share buybacks, alongside interim results in August. The UK housing market was steady in June, with house price growth flat compared to a dip of 0.3 per cent in May, figures from mortgage lender Halifax showed. The average property price is now £296,665 compared to £296,782 last month. The annual rate of growth edged down to 2.5 per cent from 2.6 per cent in May. Amanda Bryden, Halifax's head of mortgages, said: 'The market's resilience continues to stand out and, after a brief slowdown following the spring stamp duty changes, mortgage approvals and property transactions have both picked up, with more buyers returning to the market Halifax said first-time buyer numbers have returned to pre-stamp duty change levels. Last week, rival mortgage lender Nationwide reported that house prices fell by the most in more than two years in June as an increase in stamp duty costs dampened demand. Property prices fell by 0.8 per cent month-on-month to £271,619. The annual rate of house price growth slowed to 2.1 per cent in June, from 3.5 per cent a month earlier. US President Donald Trump has announced that tariff letters or deals with multiple countries will be delivered later said on his social media platform Truth Social: 'I am pleased to announce that the UNITED STATES TARIFF Letters, and/or Deals, with various Countries from around the World, will be delivered starting 12:00 P.M. (Eastern), Monday, July 7th. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, President of The United States of America.'Stock markets slipped in Asia amid concerns about the lack of detail. The dollar weakened against a basket of currencies. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN yesterday that Trump was going to be sending letters to some trading partners saying that 'if you don't move things along, then on August 1 you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level'. The president announced a 10 per cent base tariff rate on most countries in April and higher 'reciprocal' rates ranging up to 50 per cent, with an original deadline of this Wednesday. However, he also said levies could range in value from 'maybe 60 per cent or 70 per cent', and threatened an extra 10 per cent on countries aligning themselves with the 'anti-American policies' of the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India and China.
