Property here

A first home in London goes for about £469,374, against £550,607 across the whole market.

Buying here means Stamp Duty Land Tax, collected by HMRC. The rate you pay depends on the price, on whether you already own another property, and on whether you have owned a home before. We include it in the affordability sums from the start.

Land Registry UK House Price Index, June 2026.

A detached home around here at £1,159,360 uses up most of one person's inheritance tax allowance before anything else is counted. Whether your estate has a bill to pay depends on what sits alongside the house, and on whether the home is passing to your children.
