 👛 How the Latest Budget and Rate Cut Could Shape Your Finances

The recent budget brings some big changes for landlords, with a hike in Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty, plus a small drop in the Bank of England’s base rate. If you're considering selling or expanding your portfolio, expect higher tax bills on sales and acquisition costs that could impact your strategy.

On the brighter side, the base rate reduction might bring savings on your mortgage, especially if you're on a tracker or looking to remortgage.

🚲 Every Kilometre Counts: Support An’s 100km-a-Week Charity Ride

In October our co-founder An Deckers took on The Great British Property Cycle Challenge, cycling 100km each week to raise funds for The Trussell Trust and the Agents Giving Grant Fund. No stranger to a challenge, An was only too excited to raise funds for this excellent cause.

"My personal aim is to manage 100km per week and I would love to raise a £1 per km hoping to hit at least £433 for the month of October.

Thanks in advance for all your support and love shown."

Every £1 per km counts towards her £433 goal! Let’s cheer her on and make every mile matter for those in need.
