A detailed survey into buy-to-let and the broader housing market has provoked a split reaction.
In almost all the categories, the responses were split almost down the middle - except for the answer to one question. When owners of more than one home were asked if inheritance tax should be abolished on passing on property, 62% agreed, making the issue the most widely supported survey.
Here are the full results of the research by lender Market Financial Solutions:
The lender’s CEO Paresh Raja said: “Whether you’re a renter looking to make your first real estate purchase or a homeowner trying to move up the property chain, the property market is facing a number of challenges.
“Our findings demonstrate the public’s desire to have new laws introduced to prevent gazumping, and in turn, reduce the risk of a property chain collapsing. It’s also interesting to note that those people who own two or more residential properties are eager to see property inheritance tax removed on real estate assets.”
