Simon brings you an election special, analysing the property-related aspects of the major party manifestos. The episode covers the manifestos of the Labour Party, Conservative Party, and the newly emerging Reform Party, highlighting key distinctions in their approaches to property investing. From discussing the need for planning reform and building new homes to addressing issues like Section 24 and stamp duty, Simon provides a comprehensive breakdown of each party's proposals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party emphasise the need for planning reform to address the housing shortage in the UK.
• The Labour Party aims to increase the provision of affordable housing by developers, while the Conservative Party plans to lift the 106 requirements for small developments.
• The Reform Party proposes abolishing Section 24, a tax policy affecting landlords, while the Conservative Party suggests a temporary capital gains tax relief for landlords selling properties to tenants.
• The Reform Party takes a nationalistic stance by prioritising UK nationals over foreign immigrants in terms of housing, contrasting with other parties' approaches.

BEST MOMENTS

"The Labour Party in their manifesto keep on talking about stop the chaos and turn the page, looking for change, suggesting that what the Tories have done for the X number of years obviously has not left the country in a very good state."

"The Reform Party have mentioned some things they want to, they haven't given a lot of detail away, but there's one very important thing that I think they want to try and win lots of votes with."

"The Conservatives are going to get rid of that for small development. So that's a complete opposite view. And that's actually more like the things Conservatives should be doing, in my view, to help support property investors."
