Burnham’s Property Tax Revolution

Andy Burnham’s potential PM run is sparking big talk about shaking up Britain’s property tax system—could council tax and stamp duty vanish, replaced by a 0.48% levy based on home value? Experts say this bold move might not directly hike mortgage rates but could turbocharge the housing market by easing moves and investments. Burnham’s also pushing a land value tax, which could quadruple bills for some homeowners. But markets don’t care about party changes—they react to uncertainty, and since 2016, confidence has been the real game-changer. The political shift is real, but the housing impact? Still unfolding.
