Stat of the day from @rightmove The ending of the stamp duty perks in April is set to spark a rush to buy early in 2023, and almost certainly a new record for #property searches between Boxing Day and New Year. In 2023 there was a 273% rise in demand in this Twixmas period #taxes

Stat of the day from @RathbonesGroup Even among the rich, saving for care costs in old age is not a priority. 19% of HNWs (high-net-worths) of 60-plus have no plans to cover such bills.
Worrying but understandable. Planning for such eventualities is depressing

Stat of the day from CoventryBuilding Society whose analysis of OBR forecasts shows stamp duty receipts may jump to £18.1bn in 2030, against £8.6bn in 2023. This is based on the OBR estimate of 15% #houseprice growth over the period, the ending of the concessions and the higher #stampduty surcharge
