B.7.1 But do classes actually exist?

So do classes actually exist, or are anarchists making them up? The fact that we even need to consider this question points to the pervasive propaganda efforts by the ruling class to suppress class consciousness, which will be discussed further on. First, however, let’s examine some statistics, taking the USA as an example. We have done so because the state has the reputation of being a land of opportunity and capitalism. Moreover, class is seldom talked about there (although its business class is very class conscious). Moreover, when countries have followed the US model of freer capitalism (for example, the UK), a similar explosion of inequality develops along side increased poverty rates and concentration of wealth into fewer and fewer hands.

There are two ways of looking into class, by income and by wealth. Of the two, the distribution of wealth is the most important to understanding the class structure as this represents your assets, what you own rather than what you earn in a year. Given that wealth is the source of income, this represents the impact and power of private property and the class system it represents. After all, while all employed workers have an income (i.e. a wage), their actual wealth usually amounts to their personal items and their house (if they are lucky). As such, their wealth generates little or no income, unlike the owners of resources like companies, land and patents. Unsurprisingly, wealth insulates its holders from personal economic crises, like unemployment and sickness, as well as gives its holders social and political power. It, and its perks, can also be passed down the generations. Equally unsurprisingly, the distribution of wealth is much more unequal than the distribution of income.

At the start of the 1990s, the share of total US income was as follows: one third went to the top 10% of the population, the next 30% gets another third and the bottom 60% gets the last third. Dividing the wealth into thirds, we find that the top 1% owns a third, the next 9% owns a third, and bottom 90% owns the rest. [David Schweickart, After Capitalism, p. 92] Over the 1990s, the inequalities in US society have continued to increase. In 1980, the richest fifth of Americans had incomes about ten times those of the poorest fifth. A decade later, they has twelve times. By 2001, they had incomes over fourteen times greater. [Doug Henwood, After the New Economy, p. 79] Looking at the figures for private family wealth, we find that in 1976 the wealthiest one percent of Americans owned 19% of it, the next 9% owned 30% and the bottom 90% of the population owned 51%. By 1995 the top 1% owned 40%, more than owned by the bottom 92% of the US population combined — the next 9% had 31% while the bottom 90% had only 29% of total (see Edward N. Wolff, Top Heavy: A Study of Increasing Inequality in America for details).

So in terms of wealth ownership, we see a system in which a very small minority own the means of life. In 1992 the richest 1% of households — about 2 million adults — owned 39% of the stock owned by individuals. The top 10%, owned over 81%. In other words, the bottom 90% of the population had a smaller share (23%) of investable capital of all kinds than the richest 1/2% (29%). Stock ownership was even more densely concentrated, with the richest 5% holding 95% of all shares. [Doug Henwood, Wall Street: Class racket] Three years later, “the richest 1% of households … owned 42% of the stock owned by individuals, and 56% of the bonds … the top 10% together owned nearly 90% of both.” Given that around 50% of all corporate stock is owned by households, this means that 1% of the population “owns a quarter of the productive capital and future profits of corporate America; the top 10% nearly half.” [Doug Henwood, Wall Street, pp. 66–7] Unsurprisingly, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that more than half of corporate profits ultimately accrue to the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers, while only about 8 percent go to the bottom 60 percent.

Henwood summarises the situation by noting that “the richest tenth of the population has a bit over three-quarters of all the wealth in this society, and the bottom half has almost none — but it has lots of debt.” Most middle-income people have most of their (limited) wealth in their homes and if we look at non-residential wealth we find a “very, very concentrated” situation. The “bottom half of the population claimed about 20% of all income in 2001 — but only 2% of non-residential wealth. The richest 5% of the population claimed about 23% of income, a bit more than the entire bottom half. But it owned almost two-thirds — 65% — of the wealth.” [After the New Economy, p. 122]

In terms of income, the period since 1970 has also been marked by increasing inequalities and concentration:

“According to estimates by the economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez — confirmed by data from the Congressional Budget Office — between 1973 and 2000 the average real income of the bottom 90 percent of American taxpayers actually fell by 7 percent. Meanwhile, the income of the top 1 percent rose by 148 percent, the income of the top 0.1 percent rose by 343 percent and the income of the top 0.01 percent rose 599 percent.” [Paul Krugman, “The Death of Horatio Alger”, The Nation, January 5, 2004]

Doug Henwood provides some more details on income [Op. Cit., p. 90]:

Changes in income, 1977–1999 real income growth 1977–99

By far the biggest gainers from the wealth concentration since the 1980s have been the super-rich. The closer you get to the top, the bigger the gains. In other words, it is not simply that the top 20 percent of families have had bigger percentage gains than the rest. Rather, the top 5 percent have done better than the next 15, the top 1 percent better than the next 4 per cent, and so on.

As such, if someone argues that while the share of national income going to the top 10 percent of earners has increased that it does not matter because anyone with an income over $81,000 is in that top 10 percent they are missing the point. The lower end of the top ten per cent were not the big winners over the last 30 years. Most of the gains in the share in that top ten percent went to the top 1 percent (who earn at least $230,000). Of these gains, 60 percent went to the top 0.1 percent (who earn more than $790,000). And of these gains, almost half went to the top 0.01 percent (a mere 13,000 people who had an income of at least $3.6 million and an average income of $17 million). [Paul Krugman, “For Richer”, New York Times, 20/10/02]

All this proves that classes do in fact exist, with wealth and power concentrating at the top of society, in the hands of the few.

To put this inequality of income into some perspective, the average full-time Wal-Mart employee was paid only about $17,000 a year in 2004. Benefits are few, with less than half the company’s workers covered by its health care plan. In the same year Wal-Mart’s chief executive, Scott Lee Jr., was paid $17.5 million. In other words, every two weeks he was paid about as much as his average employee would earn after a lifetime working for him.

Since the 1970s, most Americans have had only modest salary increases (if that). The average annual salary in America, expressed in 1998 dollars (i.e., adjusted for inflation) went from $32,522 in 1970 to $35,864 in 1999. That is a mere 10 percent increase over nearly 30 years. Over the same period, however, according to Fortune magazine, the average real annual compensation of the top 100 C.E.O.‘s went from $1.3 million — 39 times the pay of an average worker — to $37.5 million, more than 1,000 times the pay of ordinary workers.

Yet even here, we are likely to miss the real picture. The average salary is misleading as this does not reflect the distribution of wealth. For example, in the UK in the early 1990s, two-thirds of workers earned the average wage or below and only a third above. To talk about the “average” income, therefore, is to disguise remarkable variation. In the US, adjusting for inflation, average family income — total income divided by the number of families — grew 28% between 1979 and 1997. The median family income — the income of a family in the middle (i.e. the income where half of families earn more and half less) grew by only 10%. The median is a better indicator of how typical American families are doing as the distribution of income is so top heavy in the USA (i.e. the average income is considerably higher than the median). It should also be noted that the incomes of the bottom fifth of families actually fell slightly. In other words, the benefits of economic growth over nearly two decades have not trickled down to ordinary families. Median family income has risen only about 0.5% per year. Even worse, “just about all of that increase was due to wives working longer hours, with little or no gain in real wages.” [Paul Krugman, “For Richer”, Op. Cit.]

So if America does have higher average or per capita income than other advanced countries, it is simply because the rich are richer. This means that a high average income level can be misleading if a large amount of national income is concentrated in relatively few hands. This means that large numbers of Americans are worse off economically than their counterparts in other advanced countries. Thus Europeans have, in general, shorter working weeks and longer holidays than Americans. They may have a lower average income than the United States but they do not have the same inequalities. This means that the median European family has a standard of living roughly comparable with that of the median U.S. family — wages may even be higher.

As Doug Henwood notes, ”[i]nternational measures put the United States in a disgraceful light… The soundbite version of the LIS [Luxembourg Income Study] data is this: for a country th[at] rich, [it] ha[s] a lot of poor people.” Henwood looked at both relative and absolute measures of income and poverty using the cross-border comparisons of income distribution provided by the LIS and discovered that ”[f]or a country that thinks itself universally middle class [i.e. middle income], the United States has the second-smallest middle class of the nineteen countries for which good LIS data exists.” Only Russia, a country in near-total collapse was worse (40.9% of the population were middle income compared to 46.2% in the USA. Households were classed as poor if their incomes were under 50 percent of the national medium; near-poor, between 50 and 62.5 percent; middle, between 62.5 and 150 percent; and well-to-do, over 150 percent. The USA rates for poor (19.1%), near-poor (8.1%) and middle (46.2%) were worse than European countries like Germany (11.1%, 6.5% and 64%), France (13%, 7.2% and 60.4%) and Belgium (5.5%, 8.0% and 72.4%) as well as Canada (11.6%, 8.2% and 60%) and Australia (14.8%, 10% and 52.5%).

The reasons for this? Henwood states that the “reasons are clear — weak unions and a weak welfare state. The social-democratic states — the ones that interfere most with market incomes — have the largest [middles classes]. The US poverty rate is nearly twice the average of the other eighteen.” Needless to say, “middle class” as defined by income is a very blunt term (as Henwood states). It says nothing about property ownership or social power, for example, but income is often taken in the capitalist press as the defining aspect of “class” and so is useful to analyse in order to refute the claims that the free-market promotes general well-being (i.e. a larger “middle class”). That the most free-market nation has the worse poverty rates and the smallest “middle class” indicates well the anarchist claim that capitalism, left to its own devices, will benefit the strong (the ruling class) over the weak (the working class) via “free exchanges” on the “free” market (as we argue in section C.7, only during periods of full employment — and/or wide scale working class solidarity and militancy — does the balance of forces change in favour of working class people. Little wonder, then, that periods of full employment also see falling inequality — see James K. Galbraith’s Created Unequal for more details on the correlation of unemployment and inequality).

Of course, it could be objected that this relative measure of poverty and income ignores the fact that US incomes are among the highest in the world, meaning that the US poor may be pretty well off by foreign standards. Henwood refutes this claim, noting that “even on absolute measures, the US performance is embarrassing. LIS researcher Lane Kenworthy estimated poverty rates for fifteen countries using the US poverty line as the benchmark… Though the United States has the highest average income, it’s far from having the lowest poverty rate.” Only Italy, Britain and Australia had higher levels of absolute poverty (and Australia exceeded the US value by 0.2%, 11.9% compared to 11.7%). Thus, in both absolute and relative terms, the USA compares badly with European countries. [Doug Henwood, “Booming, Borrowing, and Consuming: The US Economy in 1999”, pp.120–33, Monthly Review, vol. 51, no. 3, pp. 129–31]

In summary, therefore, taking the USA as being the most capitalist nation in the developed world, we discover a class system in which a very small minority own the bulk of the means of life and get most of the income. Compared to other Western countries, the class inequalities are greater and the society is more polarised. Moreover, over the last 20–30 years those inequalities have increased spectacularly. The ruling elite have become richer and wealth has flooded upwards rather than trickled down.

The cause of the increase in wealth and income polarisation is not hard to find. It is due to the increased economic and political power of the capitalist class and the weakened position of working class people. As anarchists have long argued, any “free contract” between the powerful and the powerless will benefit the former far more than the latter. This means that if the working class’s economic and social power is weakened then we will be in a bad position to retain a given share of the wealth we produce but is owned by our bosses and accumulates in the hands of the few.

Unsurprisingly, therefore, there has been an increase in the share of total income going to capital (i.e., interest, dividends, and rent) and a decrease in the amount going to labour (wages, salaries, and benefits). Moreover, an increasing part of the share to labour is accruing to high-level management (in electronics, for example, top executives used to paid themselves 42 times the average worker in 1991, a mere 5 years later it was 220 times as much).

Since the start of the 1980s, unemployment and globalisation has weakened the economic and social power of the working class. Due to the decline in the unions and general labour militancy, wages at the bottom have stagnated (real pay for most US workers is lower in 2005 than it was in 1973!). This, combined with “trickle-down” economic policies of tax cuts for the wealthy, tax raises for the working classes, the maintaining of a “natural” law of unemployment (which weakens unions and workers power) and cutbacks in social programs, has seriously eroded living standards for all but the upper strata — a process that is clearly leading toward social breakdown, with effects that will be discussed later (see section D.9).

Little wonder Proudhon argued that the law of supply and demand was a “deceitful law … suitable only for assuring the victory of the strong over the weak, of those who own property over those who own nothing.” [quoted by Alan Ritter, The Political Thought of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, p. 121]

Thoughts on the shrinking middle class?

I can only speak for the UK, but here goes:

In the late 20th century western societies abandoned the 'Fordian' style of capitalism - where employers recognised their employees had value and needed to be looked after (appropriate wages, benefits, etc.) - to our current mode. Before, employees were seen as something you had to attract and retain - an investment. Companies focused on the long term, on larger projects, on beating their competitors through value, product quality, what have you.

The point is that when my parents were young, things were a bit easier - still shit, mind you, but better than they are now.

Now? Everything is about annual growth and short term profit increases. So long as your investors see an annual increase on their stock, they don't care how you got there or if it's sustainable. Add in firms whose entire profit model is to acquire brands and organisations, artificially boost their profitability by cutting corners, wages, and staff, before flipping it for a higher return - and you've got a recipe for disaster. We went from a model of capitalism that at least acknowledged the humanity of the worker, to one where you're treated as another replaceable drone, as well as a possible source of revenue. We're now more valuable as inert data points, whose information can be traded back and forth by tegh and advertising companies, than we are as consumers with any shred of agency.

So now your job doesn't pay as well, property rates are being artificially inflated by greedy developers and landlords, and every brand or product you encounter has a similarly inflated price tag because it was recently acquired by a corporation that wants to wring as much profit out of its new property as it can before the end of the financial year.

People are getting fucked coming and going, by an overly bloated upper class, shunting even more people below the middle class wealth cut-off. The country is becoming increasingly orientated to the fulfillment of the needs and priorities of the upper classes at the expense of everyone else.

I remember pointing this out to Haitch a while back, how you had all of these bespoke, expensive shops on a high street where most of the shops were going bust and most of the local population can't afford their products. I realised it's a repeat of the experience of most working class Victorians, staring through a shop window and wondering "Who the fuck is that for? Who can afford it?"

Things might get better, but probably not. Capitalism has gotten pretty adept at teetering on the brink of collapse for extended periods, and with the profits being so high, and the perpetrators of this divide possessing no concept of empathy, compassion, or vulnerability to the consequences of their own actions - there's little to no incentive for them to stop.

A Middleton Walk Around: Non-Traditional Farming - Middleton Advisors

Keyword - off market property ,property advisors london

With Mr Clarkson becoming the unlikely poster boy for UK Agriculture, his ability to create mass engagement and understanding has been widely welcomed. Whilst he has implemented some diversification (despite the locals) much of his profit still comes from traditional farming operations.

Contrary to this, there has been a demand to modernise established non-traditional farming processes, which have now become the forefront of sustainable agriculture. Spanning back centuries, these methods have faced ebbs and flows of traction but are now being readopted by farmers that are refocused on the environment, ecology, and long-term land management. But, like any industrial period, when methods become ‘vogue’, practices can be rushed, concepts misunderstood and careful planning can be overlooked, resulting in potentially harmful effects. So, it is imperative those looking to invest must seek professional advice before beginning the process.

As part of our Walk Around series, our farming and land expert, Will Langmead discusses these non-traditional farming methods and their potential.

Viticulture

Despite Viticulture arriving in the UK with the Romans, the U.K.’s ability to create top-quality wine has only recently seen a real surge in viability and success. With our south-facing soils for sparkling wines and the general effects of global warming, the UK is becoming a serious contender for wine production across the globe.

Drawbacks

Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of boxes to tick when it comes to viticulture. Historically, only certain soil types have been ideal for wine, although the improvement in rootstocks is enabling a wider variety of land to produce exceptional quality.

A lot of knowledge and expertise goes into a successful vineyard and with the recent movements in immigration, it has become harder to hire highly skilled workers who have previously worked in European vineyards and have gained extensive experience.

Benefits

Previously, wine enthusiasts have turned their noses up to English wine. However, UK sparkling wine is soaring, and its popularity is showing no sign of decline. Langham Wine Estates recently won the International Wine & Spirit Competition Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year, a huge leap forward and proof that the UK is no longer being overlooked.

The warming climate is obviously creating better conditions for growing but also reducing the potential for frost damage.

With the right marketing and knowledge, viticulture can become a very profitable and successful business venture.

Not only does it add value to your land but, viticulture creates real diversification.

Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative farming is a term used to describe practices that strive to improve the farm’s ecosystem by improving biodiversity, ecology, and soil structure alongside the production of food or fibre. The process of doing this could include reducing the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Predictions show that the push towards a healthier planet will lie less with those reducing their meat consumption but instead with consumers who attempt to source all their food products from as close as possible.

Drawbacks

If the aim is to source all produce locally, then inevitably seasonality will become more relevant and so the variety of food would become more restricted.

From a consumer perspective, regenerative agriculture brings the potential for higher costs for food, which if not differentiated, could deter potential customers.

Though it increases the farm’s productivity in the long run, these results can’t be seen overnight and require complete buy-in from multiple generations.

Benefits

One of regenerative agriculture’s core concepts is improving the soil’s health. There are many benefits to this with reduced erosion and increased fertility to highlight a couple.

Reduces carbon footprint significantly. By reducing the passes of machinery and aiming to increase biodiversity there should be less carbon used and more ability to sequester it through the year.

By improving soil health, the need for harsh chemicals and pesticides can be reduced. Furthermore, regenerative agriculture urges the integration of livestock, which can act as both a fertiliser and pesticide, reducing carbon emissions even more.

Rewilding

Rewilding is a conservation strategy that leaves the land to its natural processes and reintroduces animals, plants and insects that had previously been driven out. This could be to increase biodiversity, carbon capture or even water management. All of these aren’t mutually exclusive and can be interwoven with appropriate planning and objective revaluation.

Drawbacks

There is the potential for large swathes of land to be contributed to rewilding schemes without due care or careful planning. Greater understanding is required along with active management to support the natural ecosystem.

In a similar vein, misuse of rewilding can alienate communities and harm existing biodiversity.

Just ‘closing the gates’ on monoculture will not actively increase wildlife and biodiversity long term. A closed gate will enviably cause a spike in biodiversity but is unlikely to be a long-term solution.

Benefits

If done properly, rewilding can restore ecosystems and improve the yields on commercial food production.

Reduces leaching of manmade agrichemicals thus preserving linked ecosystems.

Large potential for carbon sequestration.

Forestry

Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, around 90% of all Britain’s timber and forest products were imported (according to Conservation Handbook),This proved hugely problematic when the First World War erupted as enemy action prevented imports from international sources. To combat this, the Forestry Commission dedicated large acreages of land to forest growth. Post WW2, however, food production was at a low rate and there was a resounding demand for Britain to become a self-sufficient nation for all fruit and veg production. The government encouraged landowners to rip up their woodland to replace it with arable land to feed the country. In more recent years, various farmers have shifted their concerns towards helping the environment and in doing so, afforestation has seen a revival.

Drawbacks

By swapping arable land for woodlands, farmers could face reduced profits. Reports show that this method of farming tends to appeal to philanthropists whose main goal is less monetarily driven, but more motivated by greener living.

Service requirement for employment associated with forestry is dramatically reduced in comparison to traditional farming.

Benefits

Alongside the environmental benefits woodland can often create the opportunity for diversification. This could be in the form of open access or even a well-thought-through wellness retreat.

Forests are important for the wildlife’s habitat as it protects various plant, animal and insect species populated there. This not only has a positive impact on biodiversity but also reduces carbon emissions considerably.

What are the tax implications for NRIs purchasing property in India, and how can they minimize them?

Tax Considerations for NRIs Purchasing Property in India

When NRIs buy property in India, they need to understand the tax implications, including TDS, capital gains tax, stamp duties, and wealth tax. Here's a breakdown of key factors:

Key Tax Implications:

Capital Gains Tax:

Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG): If the property is sold within two years, it is taxed at 30%.

Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG): Properties held for over two years are taxed at 20%, with indexation benefits to reduce the taxable amount.

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source):

When purchasing property from a resident seller, TDS is levied at 1% for properties valued above ₹50 lakh.

For capital gains, TDS is 20% on long-term gains and 30% on short-term gains.

Stamp Duty and Registration Fees:

These fees are state-specific, usually ranging from 5-7% of the property’s value.

Wealth Tax:

NRIs may be subject to wealth tax if their total assets, including property, exceed a certain threshold.

Minimizing Tax Burden:

Lower TDS Certificate:

NRIs can apply for a lower TDS certificate if their actual tax liability is less than the standard TDS rate, improving cash flow.

Tax-Exempt Investments:

Investment options like government bonds, savings certificates, and ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Schemes) offer tax exemptions and deductions under Section 80C.

Tax Deductions:

NRIs can claim deductions for home loan interest (under Section 24) and principal repayment (under Section 80C).

Strategic Sale Timing:

Holding property for more than two years enables NRIs to take advantage of long-term capital gains tax benefits.

Examples:

Case Study 1: An NRI in the US applied for a lower TDS certificate, reducing the tax on rental income and improving his cash flow.

Case Study 2: An NRI from the UK sold a property after three years, using indexation to lower the capital gains tax.

Future Outlook:

Policy Reforms: Advocating for simplified tax processes for NRIs could make property transactions smoother.

Digital Solutions: Digital platforms that streamline tax filing and compliance can make the process more efficient.

Awareness Programs: Providing NRIs with education on tax laws and their obligations is essential to avoid issues.

Conclusion:

By applying for lower TDS certificates, taking advantage of tax exemptions, and carefully timing property sales, NRIs can reduce their tax liabilities. Consulting with a tax professional is vital to navigate India's complex tax system effectively and optimize returns.

Hampshire Homes Made Greener with Air Source Heat Pumps

In recent years, the call for greener living and energy efficiency has been louder than ever, and Hampshire is answering. As more homeowners seek to reduce their carbon footprint and utility bills, air source heat pumps (ASHPs) have emerged as a leading sustainable solution. This innovative technology transforms how homes are heated, offering a clean and energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating systems.

What Are Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air source heat pumps operate by extracting heat from the air outside and transferring it into a home. Unlike conventional systems that rely on burning fossil fuels, ASHPs harness ambient air, making them a renewable energy source. They function effectively even in colder temperatures, using electricity efficiently to maintain warmth indoors during the chillier months.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps for Hampshire Homes

Reduced Carbon Emissions One of the main advantages of using ASHPs is their ability to lower carbon emissions. By using a renewable source of energy, Hampshire homeowners can reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a cleaner, greener community.

Stamp Duty Deadline Approaches

Rising Demand for Chain-Free Homes as Stamp Duty Deadline Approaches

With a significant surge in demand for homes that are chain-free, the UK property market is buzzing as buyers seek a speedy move to beat the looming stamp duty hike due to the Stamp Duty Deadline. A recent report by Zoopla highlights that 32% of homes currently on the market are listed as chain-free, a significant draw for those keen to finalise their purchase before the April deadline.1 Changes are Coming in April 2025 The reason for this urgency? From 1 April, the threshold at which first-time buyers start paying stamp duty will drop back to £300,000 from its current level of £425,000.2 This change means that a first-time buyer purchasing a property valued at £425,000 would face a stamp duty bill of £6,205, whereas previously they paid none.3 The costs climb even higher for properties priced between £425,000 and £625,000, with buyers facing an additional £11,250.3 Not only first-time buyers but also home movers are affected by the changes. From April, the stamp duty threshold for these buyers will be reduced from £250,000 to £125,000, potentially adding up to £2,500 in extra costs. This has led to a heightened interest in chain-free homes, with Zoopla reporting a 9% spike in views and a 33% increase in buyer enquiries.3 The benefits of a chain-free property Why chain-free? For many, it’s the promise of a smoother, quicker purchase. In a chain-free sale, there’s no need to wait for the seller to find their next home, significantly reducing the chances of delays or the sale falling through. “Now is a great time to look for properties, with more chain-free homes available than in previous months,” said Izabella Lubowiecka, senior property researcher at Zoopla. She adds that many chain-free homes result from circumstances such as inherited properties, investors offloading assets, or households merging from two homes into one.3 Location of Property England Northern Ireland Scotland Wales Do you currently own a property? No, I'm a first-time buyer Yes, I currently own a property No, but I have owned a property in the past How will you use the property? Live in property Buy-to-let Holiday home Property Value (£) Calculate Additionally, looming council tax hikes for second homes, set to take effect in April 2025, are prompting some investors to sell sooner rather than later.3 These properties, often marketed as chain-free, may offer an attractive option for those eager to beat the upcoming financial changes. “More investors and second homeowners are choosing to sell due to these policy shifts, adding to the supply of chain-free homes on the market,” notes property expert Matt Thompson of Chestertons.3 While a chain-free purchase may expedite the buying process, it often comes with a premium. Sellers, recognising the high demand for chain-free properties as the Stamp Duty Deadline gets nearer, are charging between 3% to 7% more, depending on the property’s location and condition. Based on Halifax’s average property price of £294,000, this could translate to an additional cost of between £8,820 and £20,580.3 For those eager to move quickly and avoid potential stamp duty hikes on the Stamp Duty Deadline, paying a little extra for a chain-free home could be worth the investment. However, with demand still outstripping supply, competition remains fierce. As April 2025 approaches, the rush for chain-free properties is only expected to intensify, making this a dynamic and competitive time in the UK property market.

The global squalene market was valued at USD 149.4 million in 2023 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing use of natural ingredients in personal care and cosmetic products is a primary driver behind this growth. Squalene, a natural organic compound, is highly valued in these industries due to its translucency, minimal odor, and strong moisturizing properties. These characteristics make it one of the most widely used emollients in skincare. Moreover, squalene’s non-toxic nature has further expanded its applications, making it ideal for use in various personal care products. In cosmetics, squalene oil is especially valued for its role in combating free radicals that damage skin cells and accelerate aging.

The European Union has banned shark oil-based products in cosmetics, which has pushed manufacturers to seek plant-based and synthetic alternatives for squalene production. Concern over shark population decline and the environmental impact of harvesting shark oil has led to increased demand for plant-derived squalene, primarily extracted from sources like olive oil, rice bran, and amaranth oil. Currently, about 65% of the world’s olive oil is produced, consumed, and exported within the European Union, making it a key region for squalene derived from plant-based oils.

Squalene-based adjuvants have been used in influenza vaccines for over 20 years due to their capacity to improve immune response, boost antibody production, and allow for lower doses of the main antigen. This ingredient has been widely recognized for its role in health emergencies, such as influenza outbreaks, due to its effectiveness as an immune enhancer. The COVID-19 pandemic further underscored its utility, as animal-derived squalene was included in COVID-19 vaccines for its immunity-boosting properties. Companies like GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have established partnerships with other firms, including Sanofi S.A. and CureVac N.V., to facilitate the use of squalene in vaccine production.

Many families find it challenging to start conversations about money. However, waiting until a crisis occurs often leads to rushed decisions and missed opportunities. By planning ahead, both you and your ageing family member can feel more confident about the future.

This guide offers practical steps to help you support your ageing family member with their finances. Whether you’re just starting to think about this responsibility or are already helping manage day-to-day expenses, you’ll find useful information to make the process easier.

Remember that every family’s situation is different. What works for one person might not work for another. The key is to start early, communicate openly, and adjust your approach based on your family member’s needs and preferences.

By taking action now, you can help your loved one maintain control over their finances while ensuring they have the support they need. This guide will help you understand where to begin and how to move forward effectively.

Assessing the Current Financial Situation

Understanding your family member’s financial position is an essential first step. Start by gathering information about their income sources, such as pensions, investments, and benefits. Make a list of their assets, including property, savings accounts, and valuable items.

Next, review their regular bills and expenses. This includes:

Housing costs (mortgage or rent, council tax, utilities)

Insurance payments

Food and household items

Medical expenses and prescriptions

Transport costs

Entertainment and social activities

It’s helpful to look through several months of bank statements to spot patterns in spending and identify any recurring payments that might have been forgotten.

Having honest conversations about money matters can feel uncomfortable, but they’re necessary. Choose a quiet time when both you and your family member feel relaxed. Ask about their financial goals and concerns. Some helpful questions include:

What are their main worries about money?

Are they finding it difficult to manage any bills?

Do they have specific wishes for their savings or property?

Are there activities or items they want to ensure they can continue to afford?

Keep notes of these discussions and any important details you discover. This information will help you create a practical plan that respects their wishes while ensuring their needs are met.

Budgeting and Expense Tracking

Creating a clear budget helps everyone understand how money is being spent and where adjustments might be needed. Start with a simple list of monthly income and expenses. Many people find it helpful to use basic spreadsheet programs or budgeting apps to keep track of everything in one place.

For income, include all regular payments such as:

Why Teak Garden Furniture is Perfect for UK Gardens: Durability and Style

As the trend of outdoor living continues to grow, homeowners across the UK are increasingly investing in their gardens as extensions of their living spaces. Among the various options available for garden furniture, teak garden furniture has emerged as a standout choice, renowned for its exceptional durability and timeless style. This article explores the many reasons why teak furniture is particularly well-suited for UK gardens, focusing on its resilience to weather conditions, aesthetic appeal, and overall functionality.

The Allure of Teak Wood

Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood that has long been regarded as one of the finest materials for outdoor furniture. Its unique properties make it an ideal choice for the unpredictable climate of the UK.

1. Exceptional Durability

Teak wood is known for its incredible strength and resilience. It contains natural oils that provide inherent resistance to moisture, decay, and pests. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in the UK, where rainfall is frequent and humidity levels can fluctuate. Unlike other woods that may warp, crack, or splinter when exposed to the elements, teak maintains its structural integrity over time. Homeowners can enjoy their teak garden furniture for many years, making it a worthwhile investment for outdoor settings.

2. Weather Resistance

The UK experiences a variety of weather conditions, from sunny days to wet and windy spells. Teak is uniquely suited to withstand these challenges. Its dense composition helps prevent water absorption, reducing the risk of damage from rain or snow. Additionally, teak furniture does not require extensive treatments or coverings, allowing homeowners the freedom to enjoy their outdoor spaces without constant worry about the effects of the weather.

3. Low Maintenance Requirements

One of the standout features of teak garden furniture is its low maintenance needs. Unlike other materials that may require regular staining or sealing, teak only needs occasional cleaning to keep it looking its best. A simple wash with mild soap and water is often sufficient to remove dirt and grime. Over time, teak will naturally develop a beautiful silver-grey patina, which many find appealing. For those who prefer to retain the original golden hue, applying teak oil periodically can enhance its beauty without compromising its durability.

Timeless Aesthetic Appeal

Beyond its practical benefits, teak garden furniture boasts a timeless aesthetic that complements a variety of outdoor styles.

1. Versatile Design Options

Teak furniture comes in a wide range of designs, from traditional to contemporary, making it easy for homeowners to find pieces that fit their personal style and garden theme. Whether it’s a classic teak dining set, elegant loungers, or stylish benches, teak furniture can seamlessly integrate into any outdoor space, enhancing its overall appeal.

2. Natural Beauty

The rich, warm tones of teak wood and its unique grain patterns create an inviting atmosphere in any garden. The natural beauty of teak adds a touch of sophistication and elegance, making it a preferred choice for those looking to elevate their outdoor decor. Its ability to blend with the surrounding landscape further enhances its appeal, allowing it to coexist harmoniously with plants, flowers, and other natural elements.

3. Enhancing Outdoor Living

As outdoor living spaces become more popular, teak furniture provides the perfect setting for entertaining guests or enjoying family gatherings. A beautifully arranged teak dining set encourages al fresco dining, while comfortable loungers invite relaxation. Teak benches can serve as focal points in gardens, offering a place to pause and appreciate the beauty of nature. With teak furniture, homeowners can create an inviting outdoor space that fosters connection and enjoyment.

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

In an age where sustainability is increasingly important, teak wood stands out as an eco-friendly choice for outdoor furniture.

1. Responsible Sourcing

Many reputable manufacturers prioritize sustainable practices when sourcing teak wood. They ensure that the teak is harvested from responsibly managed forests, promoting environmental conservation. By choosing teak garden furniture from a reputable supplier, homeowners can feel confident that their purchase supports ethical sourcing and sustainable forestry practices.

2. Longevity and Reduced Waste

Investing in high-quality teak furniture means that homeowners are less likely to need replacements in the near future. The longevity of teak reduces waste and minimizes the environmental impact associated with producing and disposing of outdoor furniture. This commitment to sustainability aligns with the values of many modern consumers who seek to make environmentally responsible choices.

Caring for Teak Garden Furniture

While teak is low maintenance, following a few simple care tips can help prolong its lifespan and maintain its beauty.

1. Regular Cleaning

To keep teak furniture looking its best, it is essential to clean it regularly. Using a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water will help remove dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry to prevent water spots.

2. Oiling (If Desired)

If homeowners wish to maintain the original golden hue of teak, applying teak oil periodically can help. This treatment enhances the wood's color and protects it from drying out. However, many appreciate the natural aging process, which results in the characteristic silver-grey patina.

3. Protecting from the Elements

While teak is weather-resistant, using protective covers during extreme weather conditions can help prolong its life. Covers protect the wood from heavy rain, snow, and intense sunlight, ensuring that the furniture remains in excellent condition.

4. Inspecting for Damage

Regularly inspect teak furniture for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or loose joints. Addressing minor issues promptly can prevent further deterioration and ensure that the furniture remains safe and functional.

Conclusion

Teak garden furniture is an exceptional choice for UK gardens, offering a perfect combination of durability and style. Its remarkable resistance to the elements, low maintenance needs, and timeless aesthetic appeal make it an ideal investment for outdoor spaces. Additionally, its sustainability and ethical sourcing make it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

For those seeking high-quality teak garden furniture, Eterna Home provides a stunning selection that combines exquisite craftsmanship with classic design. By choosing teak furniture from Eterna Home, homeowners can enhance their outdoor living spaces, creating inviting areas for relaxation and socializing that stand the test of time. Embrace the beauty and functionality of teak garden furniture and transform your garden into a stylish and durable outdoor haven.
