The property industry will be hoping that housing is a
top priority in the upcoming Budget. One housing measure that is expected to

on the purchase of second homes or buy-to-let properties. This means many overseas
investors will be hit with a sizeable tax bill when they buy property in
England. Read more on the Property Reporter website.
