Global Property Regulatory Changes:

  • Canada – A two-year foreign buyer ban due to end on January 1 2025
    has been extended to 2027. Permanent residents and some temporary workers
    are exempt, along with some rural and “recreational” property. 
  • New York – In September 2023, a de facto ban on short-term lets came into effect. Partial home stays of less than 30 days remain permissible, if the property is registered with the Mayor’s Office and the host present throughout. 
  • United Kingdom – A Labour Party victory in the UK general election is expected to end the non-dom tax regime, increase stamp duty for overseas buyers and potentially lead to changes to inheritance tax rules. 
  • France –  From 2025, properties rated G for energy efficiency can no longer be let. Since August 2022, rents for F- and G-rated properties cannot be increased. The rules do not apply to furnished holiday lets. 
  • Hong Kong SAR – Since 28 February 2024, non- permanent residents pay the same stamp duty as resident buyers, up to 4.25%. Sellers can dispose their assets anytime without paying an extra 10% stamp duty. 
  • Portugal – The Non-Habitual Residency initiative, with lower tax rates for non-residents, was due to end in 2023 but has been extended for applicants who can prove their move was planned prior to December 2023. 
  • United Arab Emirates – UAE has reintroduced the three-month or 90-day visit visa, which can be extended within the country for an additional cost. 
  • China Mainland – New housing policies across first-tier cities include lowering the downpayment ratio for first-time and second-home purchasers and extending the maximum mortgage term to 30 years. 
  • Australia – Fees for foreigners allowed to buy existing houses will be tripled, and taxes for foreigners who leave dwellings vacant doubled. Plus, January saw the country’s “golden visa” scheme halted. 
  • New Zealand – Mortgage interest can once again be deducted from rental income for tax purposes and investors now need to hold a property for two years rather than 10 to avoid paying capital gains tax.

Knight Frank Wealth Report 

Compiled by research teams around the world, The Wealth Report is Knight Frank’s flagship thought-leadership publication. Now in its 18th edition, the report has become a highly anticipated document that is considered vital reading for UHNWIs across the globe and their advisors. Highlighting the issues that matter to UHNWIs, The Wealth Report is the ultimate guide to prime property markets, global wealth distribution, the threats and opportunities for wealth, commercial property investment opportunities, philanthropy and luxury spending trends.

Methodologies

Taking established wealth estimation models (Davies et al. (2017) as our starting point, we have estimated levels of net wealth on a location-by-location basis using balance sheet data, where available, on households’ financial and non-financial wealth. Where data was not available, estimates were generated using econometric techniques. Utilising estimated Gini coefficients, we then drew the wealth distribution curve for each location, calibrating this with our own data as well as other industry standard sources.  This allows us to estimate the number of individuals in each location in the following wealth bands:

  • HNWIs – those with net wealth of US$1 million or more
  • UHNWIs – those with net wealth of US$30 million or more, and
  • Billionaires – those with net wealth of US$1 billion or more.

When talking about net wealth, we now include primary residences and second homes not owned primarily as investments, as this gives a more accurate representation of total wealth. Individuals pass wealth on via the places they live and borrow against them to fund their investments. In addition, when house prices are rising consumers can experience a positive wealth effect, supporting higher levels of consumption, and – of course – vice versa.  We then forecast using a number of metrics including GDP per capita, life expectancy, government consumption and political risk, as these are proven significant variables for such calculations.
