‘Fine, get rid of the non-doms, but what's the plan to generate wealth?'
I n my working life lately I feel rather like a cast member of a failing West End production, desperately trying to get bums on seats, sell the play to uninterested punters and generally try to inject a sense of enthusiasm or, dare I say it, 'theatre' into the proceedings.
I look at our white board (which lists the properties we have for sale, ranging from £2 million to £40 million) and know we've got some real corkers, sensibly priced too. We are coming to the end of the May and June 'season', historically the busiest and best time to sell as the international market is drawn to London. It's the time to be in the mix before summer holidays takes the wealthy and social away. But we've hardly had any viewings, and the conversations I'm having with clients are not feeling optimistic.
