Capital Gains, Tax Hikes & Falling Rents with Mark Shanta

Episode 241

Monday, September 2, 2024 • Duration 32:49

In this Market Update episode, we're joined by Mark Shanta, a seasoned estate agent and letting agent, to explore the latest trends in the Scottish property market.

We discuss the key developments from August, including changes in mortgage rates, fluctuations in house prices, and the latest shifts in the rental market. Whether you’re an investor, a first-time buyer, or simply interested in the property landscape, this episode offers valuable insights into what’s happening across Scotland.

Episode Highlights:

Mortgage Rates:
- The Bank of England has reduced interest rates slightly, leading to a decrease in mortgage rates, which is positive news for the property market.
- First-time buyers are showing increased confidence, with many properties selling above home report values and frequently going to closing dates.
House Prices:
- The average property price in Scotland has risen by 4.3% over the past year, reaching £192,000.
- Both hosts predicted a 5% increase in house prices at the start of the year, and the market appears to be on track to meet that prediction.
Rental Market Trends:
- Rental prices in Glasgow have seen a decline after sharp increases last year, with some areas experiencing rent reductions.
- The decline is attributed to the unsustainable rent increases seen in the previous year, leading to a market correction.
Political and Economic Impacts:
- The episode discusses the potential implications of Labour’s proposed tax policies, including an increase in capital gains tax, which could affect property investors.
- The impact of Scotland’s rent control policies is also explored, with a significant rise in rent adjudication requests following the end of the rent cap.
Census Data Insights:
- A nearly 30% increase in the number of Scottish homeowners who have paid off their mortgages over the past decade reflects an aging population.
- The number of households renting privately has risen by 9.5% since 2011, while social renting has slightly decreased.
Student Accommodation:
- There has been a 68% increase in the number of people living in student accommodation, driven by the growing demand from international students.
Challenges in Property Investment:
- The process of obtaining buy-to-let mortgages through limited companies remains challenging, with extensive paperwork and delays.
- Potential changes in capital gains tax could impact the decisions of property investors and slow down the market.

Tune in to this insightful episode as Mark Shanta and the hosts delve into the latest market updates, offering expert analysis and practical advice for navigating the current property landscape in Scotland.

Policy Failures and Housing Crisis: Willie Rennie Speaks Out

Episode 240

Monday, August 26, 2024 • Duration 44:13

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Willie Rennie, MSP for North East Fife, to discuss the ongoing housing crisis in Scotland. With a severe shortage of affordable homes, especially in areas like St. Andrews, many people are struggling to find suitable accommodation.

The conversation covers the key challenges contributing to the crisis, including planning issues, the impact of short-term lets, and the difficulties faced by those with disabilities in securing adequate housing. Willie Rennie shares his insights on what can be done to address these issues, offering practical solutions and highlighting the need for both government and private sector involvement in building more homes.

Housing Crisis in Scotland:
- A severe shortage of affordable housing is affecting many parts of Scotland, particularly in high-demand areas like St. Andrews.
- The increased demand for both rental properties and homes for purchase has left many people, including those on housing lists, struggling to find suitable accommodation.
Challenges in the Housing Market:
- Factors such as inadequate planning, economic recessions, and the complexities of building homes to modern standards are contributing to the crisis.
- The conversation highlights the particular difficulties faced by people with disabilities in obtaining suitable housing.
Impact of Short-Term Lets and Second Homes:
- Short-term lets and second homes are exacerbating the housing crisis in local communities, making it harder for residents to find affordable housing.
- Willy Rennie supports control areas to cap the number of short-term lets but criticizes the Scottish Government's licensing system as overly burdensome.
Proposed Solutions:
- Rennie suggests a rural housing bond to encourage landowners to develop properties for local people rather than for short-term lets or second homes.
- The discussion also covers the need for a more efficient planning system, with Rennie advocating for speeding up the planning process to increase the supply of housing.
