Market Trends and Challenges
The data reveals a significant trend in the luxury property market. Following the abolition of non-dom status by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in April 2025, about 1,800 individuals have reportedly left the UK. This policy change previously allowed wealthy residents to avoid taxes on foreign income.
Additionally, the increase in stamp duty rates has imposed substantial financial burdens. Overseas buyers now face tax bills of up to 19 percent on second homes. The overall property market dynamics have affected the prime segment, as evidenced by a reported 4.8 percent decline in sales for properties valuing £4.5 million or more in 2025.
Stability in London’s Property Market
Despite fluctuating market conditions, London continues to dominate the list of the UK’s most expensive streets. According to Rightmove’s property expert Colleen Babcock, the dominance of London addresses in the top 20 underlines its status as a coveted location for wealthy buyers.
As the property landscape evolves, it will be intriguing to watch how these trends impact the future of the luxury market across the UK.
