Knight Frank released new research analyzing property valuations in London.

Why it matters
The ruling stabilizes the regulatory framework for property tax planning in England. Prior reports suggested that lowering the threshold by £500,000 would have increased the number of affected English homes from roughly 134,000 to an estimated 271,000.
