My home page 301 redirects - is this an SEO problem

[CanineConcepts]

When ever a browser calls my site canineconcepts.co.uk, it is automatically 301 redirected to canineconcepts.co.uk/en

I am not sure if I should be concerned about this from an SEO perspective or not.

Any thoughts?

Can you explain why you have it set up this way?

The main negative is any inbound links to the previous URL will lose some link juice. However, after time search engines will no longer index the previous URL, just the one that you are redirecting too. If you want to speed the process up, try and submit a new XML sitemap to each search engines' webmaster tools.
