High-Rise Deals Denied: Brokers Blame Legal Pros
Solicitors and conveyancers across the UK have been greatly affected by the introduction of building regulations concerning cladding, which require firms to be cautious when taking on high-rise transactions. This is due to increased safety protocols, with many firms declining to work on properties above five stories or eleven meters. Many lenders are also restricting or rejecting mortgages on such properties. Consumers have become even more aware of safety concerns than before and professionals must now adjust to increased safety measures if they want to remain operational. This unprecedented period signals a new era of careful decisions in order to comply with regulations without negative impacts to businesses, underscoring safety and peace of mind as the desired outcome.

Unprecedented EIS Funds Boosting Businesses
Figures released today by HMRC show an astonishing increase of 19% in utilization of the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and 39% increase in funding allocated to 2021/22 to an all-time peak of 4,480 and £2,305m respectively. This is a much needed bounce back from the stagnate figures of late 2020, providing a surge of optimism. The scheme provides tax breaks to investors, giving small businesses the opportunity to invest in their growth and innovation. HM Treasury continues to modernize the scheme with the addition of Inheritance Tax relief for investors and Social Investment Tax Relief. These record figures serve as a reminder of the UK's resilience in the face of the pandemic and provide optimism for success and energy when the lockdown is lifted.

Vanguard Chief Reveals Digital Advice Mishap
Sean Hagerty, the head of Vanguard UK, has identified a gap in the UK advice sector that needs to be filled. He stressed the need for a combination of solutions as a single one would be insufficient.
