Brexit will drive ‘deep’ property tax cuts – Wetherell
"Deep" tax cuts are all but inevitable, regardless of whether the final EU deal is "hard" or "soft", claims Peter Wetherell as part of a "don't wait to buy in Mayfair" pitch.
Peter Wetherell is the founder and Managing Director of Wetherell estate agency in Mayfair, where he is appointed by the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Mayfair Estate as their Valuer for freehold and lease extension claims under the various leasehold reform acts. He acts as a Professional Witness for Mayfair residential values at Leasehold Valuation Tribunals (LVT). Peter has worked in Mayfair for over 35 years, is former Chairman of the central London branch of The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), and was recently voted onto the board of the Central London Estate Agents Ltd (CLEA).
