Send us a textLindsay Cuthill, a seasoned real estate professional with over 40 years of experience, delves into the evolving British countryside market. He highlights the significant impact of COVID-19 on remote work, leading to a substantial rise in demand for countryside properties. With flexible working becoming the norm, more people are now able to enjoy a dual life, spending more time in the countryside while maintaining their professional commitments. This shift has transformed the High Street landscape, with local areas bustling with activity during the day, enhancing the overall quality of life in these regions.Cuthill observes an increasing international interest in countryside living, with regions like the Cotswolds attracting attention from people around the world. Brands like Soho Farmhouse have played a pivotal role in this trend, drawing a global audience to the charm of the English countryside.

The rise of second homes and the evolving role of the countryside as a primary residence underscore the shifting preferences of property buyers.Cuthill also addresses the challenges and strategies involved in country house hunting. He advises potential buyers to seek proper representation and focus on specific areas of interest to streamline the search process. Understanding local market dynamics and evaluating properties based on value and location are crucial steps in making informed decisions.Government legislation, including changes in VAT for private schools and agricultural succession laws, also impacts the property market. Cuthill explains how these changes could affect transactions and local economies, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to second home ownership and the needs of local communities.Introducing his new agency, Blue Book, Cuthill outlines its mission to provide personalized service and curated property listings. Blue Book focuses on offering a client-centric approach with a limited number of instructions to ensure high-quality service. Despite the challenges of the market, the agency has seen success by building long-term relationships with clients and maintaining a strategic approach to property selection.Cuthill discusses Blue Book's geographic coverage, including the Northeast and Southwest regions, and the agency's ambition to expand nationally.

Patrick expresses concerns about these changes further driving landlords out and increasing rental prices.4. Non-Dom Tax Status: They also discuss the implications of changes to the non-dom tax status, which have already led some investors to withdraw from the market.5. Solutions and Alternatives: Farnaz and Patrick touch on potential solutions, such as encouraging institutional investment in rental properties and adjusting tax policies to stimulate market activity and investment.Patrick emphasizes the need for lower taxes to create a free-flowing market, while Farnaz highlights the importance of professionally managed rental investments.

Join Tim Lindner, editor of The Book of Life After Death (Tolsun Books, 2023) with Farnaz Fatemi as they discuss this forthcoming book which explores how the dead might be remembered in poems & essays. We are joined by four more poets--Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña, Xioaly Li, Hunter Hazelton, and Jen Karetnick--reading selections from the book. "We're all going to die. What's worse is that once we do, we don't have a chance to explain ourselves for everything we've done. Once we're ghosts, our identities are defined by the places and things we leave behind. When we're the ones left behind, we decide what's of value and how our ghosts should be remembered. Sometimes, people become something entirely different than when they were here. And perhaps that's the point. Maybe it's not our fear of dying that drives us but rather that our lives after death aren't our lives at all."
