#310Here's a question worth sitting with: how do you find the next UK property hotspot before everyone else has already found it?  Not by following property magazines. Not by watching what's trending on Rightmove. The answer, it turns out, is more systematic than that and in this episode, Darren McNeill from our sponsors FMP uses Accrington in Lancashire as a live case study to show you exactly how it's done. This month's property is a three-bedroom mid-terrace, purchased in July 2021 for ¬£85,000. It's now worth around ¬£115,000. Rent has gone from ¬£625 to ¬£725 a month. But the deal is really just the evidence. The more useful thing is the framework behind it.Check out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3 monthsGoalsettingLeave a review37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction GuideOur Sponsors: Finnigan McNeill Property Group The Four-Pillar Framework: How to Evaluate Any UK Property Location  Before Darren's team recommends a town to a client, they run it through four criteria: population, employment, infrastructure, and schools.  Population You need a large enough population to sustain genuine rental demand, but not so large that you're competing with institutional investors for stock. Accrington's population sits at around 35,000 ‚Äî large enough for a healthy tenant pool, small enough that property is still sensibly priced. The census figure is from 2022; the true number is almost certainly higher now. Education Accrington is part of the Nelson and Colne College group, currently one of the highest-performing college groups in England. This matters more than it sounds. Families with children make decisions about where to rent based on school catchment areas and further education options. Strong education infrastructure is a retention mechanism ‚Äî it keeps families in the area, and families in three-bedroom terraces. Employment This is where Accrington genuinely surprises. It has a strong advanced manufacturing base, including the UK's largest plastic housewares manufacturer and a major brick manufacturer. Beyond that, its position next to the M65 has made it a natural home for warehousing and distribution. Altham Business Park, a short drive from the town centre, is one of Lancashire's premier employment locations. Every new logistics hub that opens along the M65 corridor ‚Äî and they are still opening ‚Äî adds more jobs to the catchment area. Online retail is not going to stop requiring storage and last-mile delivery. That's a structural tailwind, not a trend. Infrastructure and Transport The M65 gives Accrington access to Manchester within an hour, and to Preston and Leeds with comparable ease. Land is cheaper here than in Greater Manchester, which is why industrial and logistics developers continue to choose this corridor over city-adjacent locations. Cheaper land, good motorway access, and growing employment: that combination is not accidental.  The Regeneration Signal: £90 Million of Committed Investment  One of the clearest forward-looking signals an area can send is public and government investment in regeneration. Accrington has sent that signal loudly.  There's a £70 million town centre masterplan: one of the largest regeneration programmes in Lancashire, focused on the town centre fabric and public realm. In 2025, the town secured a further ¬£20 million in government "Pride in Place" funding, targeting long-term neighbourhood improvement, heritage restoration, and support for local businesses. That's £90 million of committed investment in a town of 35,000 people. The people committing that money aren't guessing about the area's future any more than a major housebuilder is. The New-Build Estate Strategy: Following the Developers  Which brings us to one of Darren's most transferable tips, and one worth keeping in your investing toolkit wherever you're looking.  Large-scale residential developers ‚Äî the ones committing to 1,000 or 2,000-home garden village projects ‚Äî do more due diligence on a location than most individual investors will ever do. They model demographics, employment projections, transport infrastructure, and planning policy before they put a single brick in the ground. They cannot afford to get it wrong.  So when a major developer commits to building in an area, that commitment is itself a data point.  Accrington is getting the Huncoat Garden Village: 1,800 new homes, a primary school, parks and green space, with direct access to Huncoat railway station and junction 8 of the M65. New-build prices at schemes like this typically start at ¬£200,000 or more ‚Äî because nobody is building starter homes anymore. The population that moves into those homes will have more disposable income than the current average, will spend in local businesses, and will gradually shift the economic and social profile of the whole area. If you own a three-bedroom terrace in the streets surrounding that development, that shift works in your favour.Practical Considerations for This Property Type  The third bedroom question Not all three-bedroom terraces are truly three-bedroom terraces in the eyes of a valuer. A room needs to meet minimum size requirements ‚Äî roughly 6.5 square metres ‚Äî to be classified as a bedroom rather than a box room. Older bay-fronted terraces tend to be better proportioned; later builds, where internal bathrooms were retrofitted at the expense of room size, can be tighter. Check before you buy.  **End-of-terrace** Darren owns several end-of-terrace properties in his own portfolio and reports no significant issues, provided the external end wall is properly rendered and pointed. Damp can appear if the wall has been neglected, but buyer hesitation around end terraces is often greater than the actual risk ‚Äî which creates negotiating room if you know what you're looking at.  The Proof: Norfolk Street, Five Years On  The Accrington thesis wasn't theoretical. The Norfolk Street three-bed mid-terrace went in at ¬£85,000 in July 2021. It's now valued at ¬£110‚Äì120,000 ‚Äî call it ¬£115,000, which is a ¬£30,000 gain and roughly 35% growth. Rent started at ¬£625 and sits at ¬£725, with the market rate for comparable properties now around ¬£750.  That's what the four-pillar framework, applied consistently, looks like in practice.KeywordsUK property, buy to let UK, UK property investment, UK property market, UK real estate, Accrington property, Northwest property investment, Greater Manchester property, Buy to let Accrington, FMP property deals, Town centre regeneration UK, Rental yield UK, UK terrace houses, End of terrace UK property, Accrington rental market, Huncourt garden village, Best buy to let locations in Northwest England, Investing in Accrington property market, Hands-free turnkey property service UK, Population and employment trends in Accrington, Are end terrace houses a good investment UK, What to consider when buying three bedroom terraces UK, How regeneration schemes affect UK house prices, Buying near new build estates in the UK, Norfolk Street Accrington property case study, Rental demand for families in Accrington, Impact of infrastructure on UK property prices, Advanced manufacturing employment in Accrington, Government funding for Accrington regenerationCheck out our new YouTube Channel @ExpatPropertyStory

Here are the UK property market stats for week 27, week ending 12th July 2026.

47,000 Fewer UK House Sales Agreed Than in 2025 UK house sales agreed are currently 6.8% behind 2025 year-to-date levels, equating to around 47,000 fewer sales. That is the headline the doom-mongers will grab. Yet the wider picture is far more balanced. Sales agreed remain 44,000, or 7.3%, ahead of pre-Covid levels, and 62,000, or 10.3%, higher than at the same point in 2023. So yes, the market has cooled compared with the unusually strong conditions of 2025. However, it is not collapsing. The real story is that the market remains active, but buyers have more choice, sellers face more competition and realistic pricing matters more than it did a year ago. The danger is not the market itself, the danger is interpreting one negative comparison without looking at the longer term context. Here are the property market stats for week 26, week ending 5th July 2026.

UK Home Sales Slide 9.4% in June Across the first four full weeks of June 2026, 99k UK homes sold subject to contract, were down 9.4% on the same period in 2025 (109k). For context before all the doom mongers get on their high horses … 103k in June 2024 92k in June 2023 So, the headline numbers are as follows …

#305Is now a good time to buy UK property, or should you wait?It's the question every overseas investor is asking in 2026 — and this week I put it to James Sproule, a former senior economic advisor at 10 Downing Street who now leads economic forecasting for a UK bank.This explores the UK property market outlook, and whether the timing is right to buy.James argues the market runs on two numbers most investors overlook — affordability and yield.He explains why the gap between property yields and the 10-year gilt yield is the single best signal of whether UK house prices are about to fall, hold, or rise — and why the recent correction in capital values was simple maths, not a landlord exodus.We get into whether the UK property crash has already quietly happened, masked by inflation, and why he believes a depressed market can be the savvy overseas investor's best friend.And we look at where interest rates and inflation are likely to head over the coming year, and what that means for anyone weighing up a UK purchase from abroad.What you'll learn:Why affordability and yields are the two numbers that actually drive the UK property market.How the gilt-yield-to-property-yield premium tells you when UK house prices are fairly valued.Why James believes the UK property crash has already happened — hidden by inflation.The Warren Buffett principle applied to UK property, and why current conditions may favour buyers.Where UK interest rates and inflation are likely to go, and how that feeds into house prices.Why the UK's long-term housing shortage keeps a floor under prices for overseas landlords.Check out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3 monthsGoalsettingLeave a review37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction GuideOur Sponsors: Finnigan McNeill Property GroupGuest: James Sproule, economist, former Senior Economic Advisor to the UK Prime Minister, now head of economic forecasting at a UK bank.If you've been wondering whether UK property still stacks up for expat and overseas investors in 2026, this episode gives you the framework to decide — and in Part 2, James turns to the question of exactly where to invest.KeywordsUK property, UK property market, UK property investment, UK housing market, UK property prices, UK property yield, UK property affordability, UK real estate, UK buy-to-let, UK property forecast, UK property trends, UK property crash, UK house prices, property investment UK, investing in UK property, UK rental yield, UK residential property, UK property outlook, UK property values, Is now a good time to buy UK property, UK property market predictions 2024, How to invest in UK property from overseas, Best UK cities for property investment, UK property market analysis podcast, How inflation affects UK property prices, Tracking UK house price data, Comparing UK property yield and gilts, UK property crash explained, How to analyse UK property market, Impact of stamp duty on UK property, Factors affecting UK property prices, Should expats invest in UK property, Where to buy property in the UK in 2024, What drives UK house prices, UK property tax for overseas investors, What is the yield gap in UK property, How affordable is UK housing in 2024, Building a UK property portfolio as an expat, UK property vs government bondsCheck out our new YouTube Channel @ExpatPropertyStory

While most investors take their foot off the gas to enjoy the warmer weather and school holidays, the current market climate makes it the perfect time to secure massive discounts. A combination of heatwaves, sporting distractions, and political uncertainty has created a prime buyers' market filled with highly motivated sellers.  As Simon explains in this episode, by proactively following up on past offers, exploring sluggish auction lots, and building direct rapport with estate agents to uncover their struggling listings, savvy investors can capitalise on quiet summer months before the market heat returns in autumn. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current buyers' market is ripe with motivated sellers willing to offer steep discounts or flexible terms to move their properties. One of the most immediate actions you can take is following up on every single property you have previously viewed or made an offer on. Submitting low-ball offers on properties you aren't entirely sure about is still a smart strategy because every asset becomes a bargain at the right price. Presenting estate agents with proof of funds, a decision in principle, and solicitor details builds instant credibility and gets you into their exclusive "black book" for off-market deals. BEST MOMENTS "Let's face it, the property market is on fire sale, literally. It is a buyer's market where there are more sellers than there are buyers..."  "I'm surprised how many people put all the time and effort into find a property, view it, and then they don't bother to put an offer in."  "There will be a price at which that property is an absolute bargain and you'd be a fool not to buy it."  “Property is a people business. There's no substitute for actually getting out and meeting people."

#304UK property auctions are seeing a wave of caution following Keir Starmer's resignation Not to mention uncertainty around Andy Burnham's stance on landlords and stamp duty.But according to auction specialist Jay Howard from Hammered Auctions  that nervousness is creating one of the best buying windows in years for an unloved asset class: flats.In this month's auction update, the Expat Property Guy and Jay break down why one and two-bedroom flats are sitting unsold at auction despite having no real defects.They also cover why most of the ESW1 cladding issues that scared buyers off for years are now resolved.And why political noise around leasehold reform is masking a genuine opportunity for UK property investors — including expats buying remotely.What you'll learn:Why political uncertainty (Starmer's resignation, Andy Burnham's potential mayoral influence) hit auction activity within 48 hours, while the open market typically lags 6-8 weeks behind.How professional auction traders read short-term weakness as a buying signal, and the 8-12 week capital cycle they typically work to.Why leaseholders are largely unaffected by current Leasehold Reform Act changes, even though freeholders are.The specific signs Jay looks for when judging whether a flat is a genuine bargain or genuinely risky (decent lease terms, resolved ESW1 certification, minimal refurb need).Why long-term buy-and-hold landlords are far less exposed to this volatility than short-term traders or sellers forced into a sale.If you're an expat investor wondering whether now is the time to pick up an undervalued UK flat at auction, this episode lays out exactly what to check before you bid.Check out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3 monthsGoalsettingLeave a review37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction GuideOur Sponsors: Finnigan McNeill Property GroupWe discuss:UK Property Auctions React to Keir Starmer Stepping DownImmediate Impact of Political Uncertainty on UK AuctionsSavills and Auction House London Face Tough Auction DaysSpeed of Market Reaction in UK Property AuctionsEstate Agency Market Delays Compared to AuctionsUK Property Investors Show Caution Amidst Political ChangesAndy Burnham's Property Stance Worries UK LandlordsUnelected Leaders and Lack of Manifesto Increase UK Property UncertaintyInvestor Behaviours Shift in Uncertain UK Property MarketsLong-Term UK Property Investors Less Price SensitiveYield Still Attractive Compared to UK Bank RatesRisk Profile Important for UK Property InvestingUK Property Traders Buy During Market WeaknessTrading Cycles: 8-12 Weeks in UK Property AuctionsEnd User Flats in UK Seen as UndervaluedLeasehold Reform and UK Flats Market ChallengesOpportunities in London Flats: Prices Drop SignificantlyHMOs in UK Hit by Rising Energy CostsCapital Appreciation Potential for UK Flats BuyersAdvice: Watch UK Property Auctions for Hidden OpportunitiesKeywordsUK property, UK property market, UK property auctionsBuying property UK, UK property investment, UK property trends, UK auction market, UK property trading, UK leasehold reforms, Property prices UK, Property investors UK, London property auctions, Auction buying tips UK, Impact of government on UK property, UK landlords, Property market uncertainty UK, Property sellers UK, Flats for sale UK auction, HMO investment UK, UK property yields, How political uncertainty impacts UK property auctions, Why are flats not selling in London auctions, Should I buy property at auction in the UK, Opportunities for property investors in UK auctions, Leasehold reform impact on UK flat prices, What to expect at UK property auctions July 2024, Tips for long-term property investment in the UK, Capital appreciation in London flats 2024, Risks and rewards for UK property traders, HMOs versus flats for UK property investors, Best strategies for selling property in UK auctions, How to join an auction buyers club in the UK, UK auction trading academy reviews, Effect of Andy Burnham on landlord policy UK, Double bank yield with UK property investmentCheck out our new YouTube Channel @ExpatPropertyStory

UK Home Sales Slide 10.4% in June as Every Region Falls Behind 2025 Week 24 has delivered a noticeably softer picture for the UK property market. Across the first three full weeks of June 2026, 75k UK homes were sold subject to contract, down 10.39% on the same period in 2025. That represents 7.8k fewer sales agreed than the 82.8k recorded during the first three full weeks of June last year. With every UK region reporting a decline (full breakdown of the regions below), it would be wrong to pretend that the market has not become more challenging. Yet the comparison needs context. The first 3 weeks of June in 2024, 77.8k homes went sold STC, down by a more modest 2.8k sales, or just 3.8%. Also, when compared with 2023, the picture is stronger. Just 70.2k homes were sold STC during the equivalent period that year, meaning 2026 is ahead by 4.8k sales, an increase of 6.45%. So, UK home sales have undoubtedly lost momentum compared with an unusually strong June 2025. However, this is not a market that has stopped. It is a market operating below last year's peak, broadly alongside 2024, and still comfortably ahead of 2023. Regional Breakdown below Detailed breakdown of the main stats

The UK is heavily reliant on the private sector for development of UK infrastructure. For property firm CBRE it means opportunities in investments for healthcare, accommodation and the much-talked about data centre build out. But with global bond yields - and particularly UK gilts - spiking will this dent the sector? CBRE's UK CEO, Rishi Bhuchar joined Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's BizNews Daybreak, we look at the "Magnificent Seven's" earnings, where Amazon's cloud growth shines despite heavy AI spending. Anthropic weighs a massive valuation leap to $90 billion, while Fed Chair Jay Powell commits to his term amid a controversial building investigation. Economist Iraj Abedian provides a harrowing look inside a sanctioned Iran, describing a nation facing public executions, food shortages, and a total "net blockade" designed to cut off all global connectivity for 90 million people. Additionally, the UAE's exit from OPEC signals a major shift in oil market influence, while experts highlight the accessibility of UK property mortgages for South African investors.

The United Kingdom remains a stable and attractive property investment destination for South Africans, says Mikayla Morkel-Brink from immigration specialists Sable International. She explained to Biznews in an interview that rental demand is driven by a chronic undersupply of housing and consistently high tenant demand. For South Africans, the appeal is reinforced by realistic net yields of 7–8% and mortgage rates of around 4–5%, far lower than in South Africa. Asked whether the upcoming Renters' Rights Act will affect landlords, MorkelBrink says the shift toward more openended leases, rather than fixed 12month contracts, is unlikely to have a significant impact in the regional university university cities such as Leeds and Birmingham where Sable operates. The company is also highlighting new opportunities in Reading, a regeneration hotspot on the Thames within easy reach of London. – Linda van Tilburg

UK Property Market Weekly Update for Week 15 2026

UK Property Market Weekly Update for Week 14 2026

Simon explores the current state of the UK property market, addressing concerns about a potential crash in 2026 following a recent decline in house prices.  He discusses the cyclical nature of property markets and the impact of geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war, on inflation and interest rates., emphasising the importance of understanding supply and demand dynamics, and noting an increase in property supply as landlords look to sell amid changing regulations KEY TAKEAWAYS House prices in the UK have recently shown a slight decline of 0.5% in March 2026, contrasting with a 0.3% increase in February, indicating potential downward trends in the property market. The ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly due to the Iran war, are contributing to economic uncertainty, leading to increased energy costs and inflation, which in turn affect interest rates set by the Bank of England. There is currently a surplus of properties for sale, driven by homeowners and landlords looking to exit the market due to concerns over new regulations, resulting in a buyer's market where prices may continue to decline. Despite the market's downward trend, there are significant opportunities for investors to secure properties at lower prices, especially as motivated sellers may be willing to accept offers below asking prices. BEST MOMENTS "The property market is like every other market. It's cyclical. Prices go up and they come down." "This latest blip in house prices is caused to the uncertainty due to the geopolitical tension caused by the Iran war."  "If you have more demand than supply, prices go up. Simple economics."  "When the market comes down, that's the time to get the very best deals."

UK Property Market Weekly Update for Week 13 2026

Simon provides a comprehensive look at the shifting dynamics of the UK property market amidst significant legislative changes and macroeconomic uncertainty.  He examines the surge in property listings driven by landlord anxiety over the Renters' Rights Act, the surprising recent softening of the rental market, and the Bank of England's decision to hold interest rates at 3.75%. KEY TAKEAWAYS A record number of landlords are selling their properties due to fears surrounding the new regulations in the Renters' Rights Act. While the rental market has recently softened due to high costs and economic uncertainty, it is expected to stabilise and rise once the new act takes effect. The Bank of England is maintaining interest rates to combat inflation exacerbated by rising oil prices and global supply chain pressures. Long-term property investment remains attractive because inflation erodes the real value of mortgage debt while asset values continue to climb. BEST MOMENTS "The Renters' Rights Act... they're absolutely panicking. I've been speaking to people saying 'Oh my god, I don't want to end up in prison, I don't want to get fined'." "Inflation is actually good for property investors because it means the value of their asset is going up over time and the debt they borrowed to buy that asset... is actually going to be depreciating." "The UK government and also the opposition believe we need 300,000 new homes every year; we're just not building enough of those." "It's not a good time to sell property right now, but it's a very good time to buy, particularly right now if you can secure a massively discounted property and lock in a five-year fix."
