2010 has been a waiting game for the housing market.  Pre-election many housing experts and prospective buyers were unsure how the economy was going to be affected by a possible change of government.  The scrabble for power and subsequent compromises by our coalition government has continued this uncertainty.  Now the Chancellor has delivered his emergency budget we have had time to review and analyse its effects.  What are our predictions for the local housing market in Cornwall?

Capital Gains Tax

This has come through lower than expected, a relief for many top rate tax payers who own second homes.  For the basic tax rate payer this tax remains the same as it was previously.  At first glance this may appear generous but in reality the capital gains made on a property is likely to tip these tax payers into the higher tax paying category.

With 2009 well under wraps it is a good time to reflect and look forward to what 2010 has to offer us.   At Percy Williams we had a consistent year with a number of our Cornish homes for sale being sold to a variety of buyers.  Looking back there has been a number of factors which have made 2009 a challenging year for buyers and sellers.

Many home owners who would have considered moving house in the last year have held off putting their houses on the market. They have made do with their situation or building extensions to house their growing needs for space.  This has created a shortage of housing stock on the market and a subsequent increased competitiveness amongst buyers.
