Strutt & Parker

Recent Met Office figures show that five of the 10 wettest years for the UK have occured since 2000 and six of the warmest years on record were in the past decade. Every farm has been affected by climate change and whether 'consciously or unconsciously' farmers are responding to these impacts. In our latest in our #IntheKnow series we explore strategies that businesses have already implemented to future-proof against weather extremes and identify actions that farms may want to consider in future. As Jonathan Armitage, Head of Farming, notes: "We can't control the weather, but we can plan to reduce exposure - both physically and financially - to more erratic weather patterns." https://lnkd.in/eQzjUNUT

The recent Budget has sent shockwaves through the rural sector because of changes to the inheritance tax regime and faster cuts to Basic Payments in England. Rhodri Thomas, our Head of Rural says: “The rationale of reliefs, like APR and BPR, is that they help prevent the sale or break-up of a business to finance IHT payments. Many farming businesses have relied upon these long-standing reliefs to survive through multiple generations. We do not have all of the details yet, but the change has significantly increased the potential IHT liability on almost all farms, apart from the smallest ones. We are likely to see a long period of tax and business planning to understand the changes and to try to reduce the increased liability.” We’ve prepared a brief summary of the key announcements, along with our current understanding of what they mean: https://lnkd.in/ettMg_Fm #UKBudget #RuralSector #FarmingPolicy 

The Autumn Budget comes nearly four months after the party swept to power in the 2024 General Election. Matthew Henderson, Residential Research, believes it provides some much-needed certainty, "allowing people to make some informed decisions after months of speculation about what the government has in store.” Here, we round-up Labour’s key announcements and what they could mean for you and the wider housing market: https://lnkd.in/epsrssiU #AutumnBudget #AutumnStatement #LabourGovernment
