Britain’s rural property market has cooled due to high interest rates, the return to office work, and potential tax hikes on second homes. However, premium areas like the Cotswolds and Cornwall still attract the ultra-wealthy. More affordable opportunities are arising in nearby areas where house prices are softer due to higher mortgage rates.

In the UK rental sector, landlords are exiting the market due to increasing taxes and stricter regulations. Proposed Labour reforms could exacerbate the housing shortage, driving up rental costs and reducing options for tenants.

Retirement housing is gaining attention as an untapped solution for the UK's aging population. Policies promoting retirement communities could ease housing shortages, but outdated perceptions and planning rules hinder progress. Six recommendations, including building more retirement units and offering tax incentives, are proposed to address these challenges.

Meanwhile, campaigners criticize delays in implementing leasehold reforms in England and Wales. Despite promises to reform the system, key changes have stalled, leaving leaseholders waiting for significant improvements to their rights.
