Key challenges in the sector
The UK property and construction sector encompasses a wide range of businesses from small scale buy-to-let investors to multi-national construction groups. Over recent years the sector has seen many changes, to the tax regime in particular, and the general economic environment and political uncertainty continue to have a significant impact on the sector.
On the up–side, the government has shown commitment to supporting the development of new housing and infrastructure, opening up opportunities to develop and invest in different types of property. New technology and more innovative and sustainable build techniques bring exciting new advancements to the sector and property is still regarded as a safe investment in the long term.
