UAE, Singapore & Switzerland unchanged — widening the gap with the UK. No drama. No shock. But a clear shift in tone.

Post-Budget HavenSphere® Pulse — Prime Real Estate London stays a safe haven — but the Budget pushes it to the lower end of its range. • Higher charges on £2m+ homes • More tax on property income • Tougher environment for investors

🔜 We’ll publish the Post-Budget HavenSphere® Pulse once MHIDS updates following the announcement. Watch this space.

London’s position is credible but sits below the UAE, Singapore, and Switzerland. The point of Wednesday is not the headline measures themselves, but whether they shift behaviour enough to alter the spread against these alternative safe havens.

Current Prime Residential SHA Bands: 🇨🇭 Zurich/Geneva: 88–90 🇸🇬 Singapore: 84–88 🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi: 82–86 🇦🇪 Dubai: 80–85 🇬🇧 London: 79–83 🇺🇸 New York: 78–82

⚠️ What could move the Index?The SHA will shift if the Budget fundamentally changes how globally mobile capital behaves. Risks include: ▪️ Untrailed/aggressive UHNW or non-resident taxes ▪️ Tax intensity above current assumptions ▪️ Widening the competitiveness gap vs. peers

Market consensus anticipates higher taxes to close the fiscal gap and tightening at the upper end of property. Because a "credibility-first" Budget is expected, London’s Prime Real Estate SHA range remains steady at 79–83 going into Wednesday.

🧵 Pre-Budget HavenSphere® Pulse: Prime Real Estate Ahead of Wednesday’s Autumn Statement, the lens shows a clear picture: safe-haven behaviour across global prime real estate is stable. Crucially, this includes London. Expectations are already priced in. 👇

Clarity over noise. Next week, including through the Autumn Statement, we’ll use HavenSphere® to track what genuinely changes in the market. Stay tuned.
