2005 the year of reform?
Chambers, Michael
2005 the year of reform? - 2005 - RICS Business January 2005, 12-13(2) .
Provides a guide to what is likely to be a hectic year of legislative change affecting the property world. The housing field is likely to be dominated by the fleshing out of the home-buying reforms contained in the Housing Act 2004 and by continuing moves to improve housing supply with further activity consisting of major revisions to PPG3, a stream of consultations on new planning guidance, reform of the planning obligations' system and work on the planning gain supplement, a new type of development land tax. The commercial property field will concentrate on REITs and possible legislation to outlaw upward-only rent review clauses in commercial leases. The Lyons Review will report on the scope for re-localising the rates and council tax reforms could see changes to the banding structure. Concludes with a list of other developments in 2005.
