My Thoughts on the Budget for Frome homeowners & landlords
The Autumn Budget delivered the expected changes to housing and taxation, although the impact will be felt more in sentiment than in immediate cost.

None of it was a surprise. The charges are £2,500 a year for homes above £2m and £7,500 for those above £5m.

Frome House Prices: What’s Happened in the Last 5 Years
This map shows how house prices have changed across Frome over the past 5 years. Any blue areas shows any drop in house prices. The lighter yellow areas represent the parts of Frome where average house prices have seen smallest rises, the orange shades in the middle increases, while any deeper reds show the strongest house price growth.
It is a fascinating picture because it highlights how no two areas perform in quite the same way. Even within the same town, some pockets have surged ahead while others have grown more modestly. That is the beauty of the local property market, every street has its own story, and averages can only tell part of it.
