Incorporating the Directory and Annual Report
Our members collectively represent a
large and financially significant market.Historic houses need £1.5 billion-worth of essential repairs and
maintenance, of which nearly £500 million is urgent.
Owners constantly invest in the upkeep of their properties buying
products & services for preservation and maintenance of the buildings
and estates that they manage. Many are open to the public, offer
weddings, conference facilities, Holiday accommodation, corporate
hospitality days and are used as film sets.
Historic Houses represents Britain’s largest collection of independently
owned, lived-in, historic houses, castles and gardens. The Yearbook
reaches over 2,500 historic house owners which includes
virtually all the finest historic houses and estates in Britain.
Publishing in August 2019, the newly created Yearbook will combine the
contents of the Directory of Historic Houses and the Annual Report in a
high quality publication of over 150 pages, specifically designed for
members 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.

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.

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
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

guidance notes and seminar presentations on subjects
