Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Instead, chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a new "high value" council tax surcharge on properties worth over £2m, dubbed a "mansion tax".
53% : In fact, Zoopla said that the removal of the threat of extra taxes was set to deliver a "much needed boost" to buyer demand and overall market activity at the start of 2026.
46% : Zoopla said that Wednesday's announcements would offer some relief to owners of the 210,000 properties for sale across the UK that are valued above £500,000 but below £2m, meaning they would not be liable for the "mansion tax".
45% : Zoopla said that the decline in house prices in the South came as rumours of a new annual property tax on homes worth over £500,000 in the lead up to the budget, created uncertainty across the market.
40% : However, this speculated new tax was not included in Wednesday's budget.
