In this month’s Property Surveying Newsletter … we look at growing threats to environmental protections, examine government solutions to housing issues, and find out how a deluge of footballs affected neighbours<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Property Market Monthly Fact File<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The property market fact file is a collection of data compiled each month by our Chartered Surveyors and the propertysurveying.co.uk<\/a> team, reflecting survey data, statistics, trends and information from the property market. This provides a single place where anyone with an interest in UK property can find the information they need.<\/p>\n

\n

Environmental protections threatened for house building<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The government is proposing changes to environmental regulations that currently require developers to enhance wildlife habitats as compensation for natural areas lost during construction. The potential changes specifically target smaller residential developments as part of its efforts to increase home construction in England.<\/p>\n

\n

Kuwait fund takes London developers to court over blocked sunlight<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A legal battle is brewing in London\u2019s financial district as Kuwait\u2019s sovereign wealth fund sues the developers of a new skyscraper, claiming the building will steal sunlight from their property.<\/p>\n

\n

Tax rules targeting holiday let property<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The government\u2019s crackdown on holiday rentals is finally hitting properties that have been converted from family homes, as officials work to address the housing shortage affecting millions of renters and aspiring homeowners across Britain.<\/p>\n

\n

Using your building survey report to negotiate<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Buying a home is likely the biggest financial decision you will ever make, which is why getting a professional survey is so important. When your survey reveals issues with the property, you have options.<\/p>\n

\n

Spain fights back against short-term rentals<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spain is taking dramatic action against holiday rental platforms as locals struggle to find affordable homes. The Spanish government wants to remove nearly 66,000 rental properties from these online platforms, claiming that they operate illegally.<\/p>\n

\n

The areas of your home you shouldn\u2019t insulate<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We all know that home insulation saves money on energy bills, but installing it in the wrong places can cost you thousands in damage repairs.<\/p>\n

\n

Government to get tough on developers who don\u2019t build houses fast enough\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The government is introducing tough new rules to stop property developers from sitting on empty land for years without building homes. Under the new system, councils could take away building sites from companies that don\u2019t deliver houses on time.<\/p>\n

\n

Surveyor\u2019s guide to drain maintenance<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A clogged drain always seems to happen at the worst possible moment. Whether it\u2019s a backed-up kitchen sink or a slow-draining shower, drain problems can quickly turn from minor annoyances into major headaches.<\/p>\n

\n

And finally …<\/h3>\n

Homeowners win court battle over 170 footballs landing in garden<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A couple living next to a primary school have won a legal victory after enduring nearly 170 footballs kicked into their \u00a32 million property within a single year.<\/p>\n
