do you think the mansion tax is now priced into the market in that it's a known unknown?

Or do you think property is going to fall if Labour gain power at the election, or if Labour form a coalition with a pro-mansion tax king-maker?

I don't think it goes far enough to really make a real difference, I think the only effect will be giving a few asset rich people another reason to grumble at dinner parties.

The uncertainty is choking the market. Especially as SDLT changes mean the market at the top end has been lumbered with a hefty SDLT increase.
