Spring / Summer 2025 edition
As Guernsey prepares to commemorate its 80th Liberation Day on 9th May, we are reminded of the resilience and determination that have shaped the island’s history. From the hardships of occupation to the rebuilding efforts that followed, Guernsey has emerged as a thriving and vibrant community, proud of its heritage and optimistic about its future.
In the property sector, a major milestone has been reached with the approval of new policies for the Open Market Housing Register. These long-awaited changes bring greater clarity and confidence to a unique system that has served the island well for decades. With carefully managed flexibility and controlled growth, the updates aim to create new opportunities for homeowners, investors, and long-term residents.
To understand the full impact of these changes and what they mean for buyers and sellers alike, turn to pages 16-17 for our in-depth Question-and-Answer article on the Open Market Housing Register and its latest developments.

Market Commentary
The six months to March 2025 have seen a remarkable 80% increase in Open Market sales compared to the same period last year. This welcome surge in activity reflects a release of pent-up demand, as uncertainty in the UK settled with the arrival of the Labour Government, bringing greater political and financial stability.
Guernsey’s favourable tax system, stable economy, and exceptional quality of life continue to attract high-net-worth individuals and investors. The recent updates to Open Market policies –detailed in our Question-and-Answer article on pages 16-17 – offer increased flexibility while maintaining controlled growth, encouraging further relocations and long-term investments.
Meanwhile, global economic uncertainty, notably the impact of President Trump’s import tariffs, has reinforced Guernsey’s appeal as a secure and resilient property market.
A buoyant market naturally encourages new vendors to list their properties, and we are seeing a steady stream of exciting new instructions. Some of these feature in this edition, but to stay ahead of the latest opportunities, be sure to contact our team – we’d be delighted to help you find your perfect property.

Q&A Understanding Guernsey’s New Open Market Housing Register Policy
The States of Guernsey have just approved important new policies for the Open Market Housing Register – what does this mean for property owners and buyers? We break down the key changes and what they could mean for you.
This policy update brings more flexibility to Guernsey’s Open Market while keeping growth controlled. Whether you’re a developer, a long-term resident considering downsizing, or a homeowner dealing with inscription issues, these changes could create new opportunities.
Q What is the Open Market Housing Register, and why does it matter?
A The Open Market Housing Register is a list of Guernsey properties that can be occupied by non-local residents without housing restrictions.
Q What are the key changes introduced by the new policy?
A The policy introduces more flexibility in how properties can be inscribed (added) to the Register, as well as how existing inscriptions can be transferred. The main updates include:
1. Inscriptions in Principle (IIP): A new mechanism that allows properties to be conditionally inscribed before construction is completed.
2. Transfer of Inscriptions: Owners of inscribed properties can now transfer their inscription to newly built homes, with some restrictions.
3. Downsizing for Long-Term Residents: Open market residents of 20+ years can transfer their inscription to a smaller home.
4. Regularisation of ‘Anomaly Properties’: Properties with partially inscribed sections can now apply for full inscription.
Q What is an ‘Inscription in Principle’ (IIP), and who can apply?
A An IIP is a conditional inscription that allows certain properties to be placed on the Open Market Register before they are fully built. This applies to:
• New-build homes with planning approval.
• Existing properties that qualify under ‘exceptional circumstances’ (criteria to be specified in official guidance).
The IIP remains valid for six years, giving developers and homeowners time to complete their projects and meet the conditions for full inscription.
Q Will this lead to a flood of new Open Market properties?
A No – the States have capped new inscriptions at three per year, ensuring controlled expansion.
Q What does the new inscription transfer policy mean for homeowners?
A If you own an inscribed Part A Open Market property and are developing a new multi-unit site, you can transfer an inscription from your old property to a new one. However:
• The old inscription is deleted once the new property is completed.
• No more than one-third of the new development can be Part A properties.
• A maximum of eight Part A properties can be created per development.
• Fort George properties are excluded from this policy.
This change is designed to allow flexibility in the housing market while preventing excessive expansion.
Q How does the downsizing option work?
A Long-term Open Market residents can transfer their inscription to a smaller property if:
• They have lived in Open Market housing for at least 20 years.
• The new home is at least 25% smaller than the original.
• They own both properties at the time of application.
• Fort George properties are excluded.
This policy encourages downsizing, helping to free up larger homes while keeping established residents in Guernsey.
Q What are ‘anomaly properties,’ and how does the new policy fix them?
A Some properties on Part A of the Register currently have rooms or sections that are not included in their inscription. This can cause legal and occupancy issues. The policy allows these homeowners to apply for a full inscription—as long as this doesn’t create an independent dwelling.
Q Are there fees involved in these changes?
A Yes. Fees will apply to:
• New inscriptions (reflecting the increase in value).
• Transfers and amendments to existing inscriptions.
These changes are expected to raise at least £1.5 million per year in additional revenue for the States.
Q When will these changes take effect?
A The policy has been approved by the States but still requires Royal Assent before coming into force.

Discover Your Dream Home in Guernsey with Cooper Brouard
With a thriving community, financial stability, breathtaking coastline and shorter commutes, it’s easy to see why more and more people are calling Guernsey home. As the second-largest of the Channel Islands, just 70 miles from England’s south coast and 30 miles from Normandy, Guernsey offers a rare combination of quality of life, natural beauty, and international accessibility.
Here’s why Guernsey should be your next home:
At Cooper Brouard, we’ve been helping people move to and around Guernsey since 1996. As a leading estate agent, we offer not only expertise in the local property market but a warm, welcoming approach that helps our clients settle into island life with ease. With around 1,600 Open Market homes, including some of the island’s most exceptional properties, Guernsey warmly welcomes residents from the UK, EU and beyond.
A Place Steeped in History
Guernsey’s story stretches back more than 1,000 years, from its time as part of the medieval Duchy of Normandy to its unique status today as a self-governing British Crown Dependency. The island has its own parliament, tax system and legal framework, all of which have evolved to meet the needs
of residents and businesses alike. Notably, Guernsey is not part of the EU or the UK, though it enjoys close trading ties with both.
This independence also means Guernsey has maintained a strong and stable government – something that was particularly evident during the 2020 COVID-19 crisis, when the island’s swift and effective response drew international praise.
A Safe, Connected and Culturally Rich Community
Guernsey’s low crime rate and high standard of living make it an ideal place to raise a family or enjoy a relaxed, later-life move. The island blends the charm of English village life with French flair, creating a unique “joie de vivre.” The historic capital, St Peter Port, offers cobbled streets, boutique shops, vibrant dining and a scenic harbour.
The cultural calendar is active year-round, with concerts, sporting events and community festivals. Boating enthusiasts are particularly well catered for, with two marinas and excellent access to surrounding waters.
Exceptional Lifestyle and Outdoor Living
With mild winters and warm, sunny summers, Guernsey’s climate is perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. Whether it’s sunbathing on sandy beaches, walking scenic cliff paths, or exploring hidden coves, there’s no shortage of ways to stay active and inspired. Golf courses, racquet clubs, gyms and yoga studios are readily available, as are nature reserves and historic sites.
Regular ferry services and frequent flights connect the island to the UK, France and other destinations – making travel seamless for both business and leisure.
A Robust Financial Centre and Business Environment
Guernsey is a respected global finance centre, home to a sophisticated professional services industry including wealth management, insurance, fund administration and fiduciary services. The island’s political and financial stability, combined with a highly skilled workforce, continues to attract international investors and entrepreneurs.
Meaningful Tax Advantages
One of the most attractive aspects of moving to Guernsey is its competitive tax environment. Residents benefit from a flat 20% income tax rate, and there’s no Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, Death Duties, or VAT. For high-networth individuals and families, this offers significant financial planning advantages within a well-regulated framework.
Property Market: Open and Local Markets Explained
Guernsey’s property system ensures housing availability for both locals and newcomers through two distinct markets:
• Open Market: Comprising around 1,600 properties, these homes are available to anyone with the right to live in the UK or EU. They represent many of Guernsey’s finest homes, offering an exclusive gateway to island life.
• Local Market: About 90% of homes fall into this category and are reserved for locally qualified residents or individuals with housing permits tied to employment.
Rental options are available in both markets, making it easy to explore life on the island before committing to a purchase.
Make the Move with Cooper Brouard
Guernsey is more than just a beautiful place – it’s a way of life. From its rich heritage to its modern financial services, from safe streets to open beaches, it offers something truly special. Whether you’re relocating for business, family, lifestyle or retirement, Cooper Brouard is here to help you find your perfect home.

WHERE WERE YOU AT MIDNIGHT?
This for many years has been a critical factor in determining UK tax residence for individuals. UK tax residence can result in exposure to UK income tax and capital gains tax. Now, from 6 April 2025, UK residence will become the prime determinant for the level of UK Inheritance Tax (IHT) exposure as well.
Frequently, we are asked, “how many days may I spend in the UK, in a tax year, without triggering UK tax residence?”. In most cases these UK days are simply to visit friends and family or perhaps, spend time in a UK pied-à-terre.
In terms of UK tax residence, a day means presence in the UK at midnight. A frequent and common misconception is that spending no more than 90 days in the UK, in a UK tax year, is all that is required to remain not UK tax resident. This may be correct for some, but not all, as everyone has their own unique set of circumstances that need to be carefully considered when determining residence through interpretation of the UK tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Statutory Residence Test (SRT).
Usually, the number of nights you may spend in the UK in a tax year, is determined by reference to the number of “ties” held with the UK in the year under review. Ties are broadly;
> family (spouse, partner or minor child being UK resident)
> accommodation (available – not just owned)
> working in the UK (on more than 40 occasions in the tax year)
> spending 90 or more days in the UK, in either of the prior two UK tax years.
Simply put, the more ties, the fewer the nights you may spend in the UK, before triggering UK tax residence.
Falling foul of the day count rules within the SRT and becoming UK tax resident can have material financial consequences.
A UK tax resident is generally subject to UK taxation on worldwide income and capital gains (where a non-UK resident’s exposure is limited to specific UK source income and UK property gains only).
Although the UK/Guernsey double tax treaty may mitigate exposure to UK income and capital gains tax for a Guernsey resident, there is no treaty protection for UK IHT.
As noted above, becoming UK tax resident may now cause exposure to UK IHT. Broadly, the test for IHT exposure, from 6 April 2025 (assuming the draft legislation is enacted without amendment) will be whether an individual is a UK “long term resident” (LTR), meaning they have been UK tax resident for at least 10 years out of the last 20 years. If you are a LTR at the time of an IHT event, most commonly death, you will be subject to IHT on all assets (UK and foreign). Those who are not UK LTRs will only be subject to IHT on UK situs assets and assets deriving value from UK land and property.
For anyone who has recently permanently left the UK and ceased UK tax residence, who, now inadvertently reacquires UK tax residence, the period of exposure to UK IHT upon worldwide assets could be increased.
So, perhaps, where you were at midnight (for UK tax reasons) matters more than ever before.
LTS Tax Limited, registered with the Chartered Institute of Taxation, is an independent and leading tax practice in Guernsey. The team is qualified to provide UK and Guernsey tax advice and would be pleased to discuss UK and Guernsey tax matters with you.

The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen and family room, designed to take full advantage of the west-facing gardens. A welcoming lounge with a wood burner adds a cosy touch, ideal for relaxing evenings.
