Rightmove says the most in demand features for renters are double glazing and smart technology - while buyers want a renovation project and a new boiler. Listen to the latest Ian King business podcast while you scroll.

Homes in need of renovation are the most in-demand among buyers, and are 8%, or £29,000, cheaper than the average property up for sale, a new study by Rightmove has found.

Buyers looking for a home that is already refurbished are paying an average of 19% more than the national average asking price, at £435,874 . "South Africa is a prime example - prices there have long been reasonable by UK standards, but sterling's strength has now made it even better value," he explained.

"Sales of Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, which have respectively got 15% and 9% cheaper since this time last year, also jumped by 30%," Simon said. In addition, if you have extra relief to claim then technically you can either do a tax return, or if you’re employed you can write to your HMRC tax office.

You will automatically get 20% gift aid, but you can claim back the rest of the tax relief through a self-assessment claim.Capital gains are the profits you make when you sell something that's increased in value.
