AUTUMN BUDGET 2026 | WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE COTSWOLDS?

The Budget is out, and after months of speculation, we finally have some welcome clarity for the property market.

Here are the headlines for buyers, sellers and homeowners across the Cotswolds. 👇

✅ STAMP DUTY REMAINS UNCHANGED

No immediate overhaul of Stamp Duty or Council Tax. For anyone considering a move in 2027, that’s one less uncertainty to navigate.

🔑 GOOD NEWS FOR FIRST-TIME BUYERS

The new Your First Home scheme aims to help eligible buyers purchase a new-build home with deposits from just 2.5%, supported by a government equity loan.

🏘️ MORE INVESTMENT IN HOUSING

Additional funding for affordable housing and measures to support housebuilding could create new opportunities for buyers and local communities.

💷 SUPPORT FOR HOUSEHOLD FINANCES

Measures to ease energy costs may provide some welcome breathing space for households, although mortgage affordability remains an important consideration.

❤️ WHAT ABOUT THE COTSWOLDS?

From Cirencester and Tetbury to Fairford, Lechlade and our beautiful surrounding villages, people will always have reasons to move.

The Budget won’t change that.

What matters is understanding your local market, preparing properly and making informed decisions.

Thinking of moving in 2027?

You don’t need to be ready to sell today. Sometimes the best place to start is simply a conversation.
