Our members collectively represent alarge and financially significant market.Historic houses need £1.5 billion-worth of essential repairs andmaintenance, of which nearly £500 million is urgent.

Owners constantly invest in the upkeep of their properties buyingproducts & services for preservation and maintenance of the buildingsand estates that they manage. Many are open to the public, offerweddings, conference facilities, Holiday accommodation, corporatehospitality days and are used as film sets.

Historic Houses represents Britain’s largest collection of independentlyowned, lived-in, historic houses, castles and gardens. The Yearbookreaches over 2,500 historic house owners which includesvirtually all the finest historic houses and estates in Britain.

Publishing in August 2019, the newly created Yearbook will combine thecontents of the Directory of Historic Houses and the Annual Report in ahigh quality publication of over 150 pages, specifically designed formembers who are owners of historic buildings.

TECHNICAL ADVICE

Free technical advice has always

Historic Houses membership. It may cover almost any issue encountered by the ownership of listed property including technical, security, HSE, disability access,

matters. Similar problems are encountered by most historic houses whatever their size, and whether private, or operating as a commercial attraction. This year

advice on traditional topics such as woodworm, repair of sash windows and electric gates, and more unusual subjects including death watch beetle and sand-cast lead manufacturers.

Increases in the frequency with which common queries occur are usually driven by the introduction of new regulatory controls, but there has been little major change for some years. The problems, much covered in the media, resulting from the imposition of

not materialised – helped by our detailed technical advice to members. Proposals for adverse housing development that will have an impact on members’ historic settings continues to be a threat to many, however. We are normally happy to offer a letter of support against harmful proposals.

Advice visits have been made to

Northamptonshire and Scotland, covering the whole range of membership from private to commercial and charitable ownership. Most of these visits are in preparation for, or after,

and involve reviews of changes to family living arrangements and business plans for commercial enterprise.

748,000 Historic houses adopting a HMF would be able to increase public access by 20 days each year on average

ACTION: REFORMING HERITAGE MAINTENANCE FUNDS

Promotes health and wellbeing

Increased public access

Delivers a neteconomic bene t

Reducing income tax on HMFs to 20% would generate a net ben for the UK economy of £85.5m by 2023

Exchequer revenue would increase by £4.6m by 2023. This would offset part of the static costs to the Exchequer

Independent analysis commissioned by Historic Houses indicates that reducing income tax on HMFs to 20% would be the most cost-effective means of conserving independent heritage for public ben t. This targeted reform would generate funding to tackle the £1.38bn conservation backlog, while guaranteeing public access, generating economic growth and supporting people’s health and wellbeing.

WE THEREFORE CALL ON THE GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE INCOME TAX ON HERITAGE MAINTENANCE FUNDS TO 20%

£

The health and wellbeing value of these additional visits to historic houses would be worth £89.4m to the UK economy by 2023

Data compiled from an independent study carried out by Saffery Champness and Nordicity (2018) using a best practice approach which followed HM Treasury Green Book methodology, as well as data from an independent study carried out by DC Research Ltd in 2015, and analysis of the 2017 Historic Houses member survey.

HMFs are a means by which nationally important historic houses that are open to the public can ringfence funds (from their own resources) for heritage maintenance. In this way, HMFs generate private sector funding for public ben t. We welcome the government’s support for HMFs; however, in their current form HMFs are subject to a high rate of income tax – 45% – and capital gains tax continues to apply.

COST OF INACTION

Increased tourism spend

Now is the time to give our country’s irreplaceable historic houses the tools they

need to drive growth and support our communities. If nothing is done:

We risk irreversible damage to our unique heritage, which forms the backbone of our thriving tourism industry

The £1.38bn conservation backlog of outstanding repairs will continue to grow

Erosion of public access would lead to an economic loss of £34.8m by 2023, including £25.5m in lost tourism spending

H p

T

Additional visitors to historic houses would spend an extra £11.4m

Driving regional economic growth 26m annual visits to Historic Houses places generate £1bn in visitor spend, £720m of which is spent ‘off site’ in local towns and villages

Nearly 50% of goods and services purchased by Historic Houses places is with local suppliers

Historic Houses places generate 33,700 FTE jobs, injecting £496m into the economy as GVA
