Mondayโ€™s child is fair of face.
Tuesdayโ€™s child is full of grace.
But when it comes to Britainโ€™s property market, Wednesday is the day the deals are done.

Analysis of three years of UK house sales data reveals a striking weekly rhythm. Agreed sales do not fall evenly across the seven days. Instead, they build rapidly through Tuesday, peak on Wednesday, and remain exceptionally strong through Thursday and Friday.

So perhaps the old rhyme needs a property market rewrite:

With energy costs shifting, a property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is no longer just a dry piece of legal paperwork. Itโ€™s essentially a running-cost report card for your homeโ€”rated from A (most efficient) down to G.
Here is what local buyers, sellers, and landlords need to know right now:
๐Ÿ“‰๐‹๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ: The difference between a standard EPC D rating and a greener EPC C rating can save a typical family house roughly ยฃ500 to ยฃ650 a year in energy costs.
๐Ÿ’ฐ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ: Data shows that owner-occupied homes rated A or B command a modest price premium, but for landlords, high efficiency is a major selling pointโ€”commanding up to a 12% premium for buy-to-let investments.
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐…๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž-๐๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ : Simple upgrades like modern loft insulation, better glazing, or upgrading heat systems don't just lower bills; they protect your asset's long-term value.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ ๐‹๐ข๐ง๐ž:
While an EPC rating used to be low on a buyer's wish list, that is changing fast. A more efficient home means lower running costs, less bill anxiety, and a highly competitive edge in the local market.

Thinking of selling, letting, or wondering how your property's rating stacks up? Letโ€™s grab a coffee or chat over the phone to see how energy efficiency is impacting values in your specific neighbourhood.

Not all listed homes are equal. In England and Wales, theyโ€™re split into three grades based on historic importance. Here is how they stack up by the numbers:
๐ŸฆGrade I (Exceptional Interest): The rarest of the rare (only 9,797 in the UK)โ€”think castles and stately homes. Just 352 have sold since 2017, averaging ยฃ2,000,568.
๐Ÿ›๏ธGrade II* (Particularly Important): More than special interest (23,872 in the UK). With 2,633 sales since 2017, they command an average of ยฃ1,335,157.
๐ŸซGrade II (Special Interest): The most common type (370,337 in the UK), ranging from period cottages to townhouses. 62,215 have sold since 2017, averaging ยฃ767,639.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐“๐š๐ค๐ž๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ:
Being listed doesnโ€™t mean you canโ€™t make changesโ€”it just means you need Listed Building Consent for alterations. Beyond the grade, value is always driven by location, condition, and unique history.
Owning a piece of Britainโ€™s architectural heritage comes with unmatched characterโ€”and a bit of responsibility.

If youโ€™re looking to list your property this July, presentation isn't just importantโ€”itโ€™s everything. With more properties to browse, the homes that photograph beautifully are the ones that land the viewings.

The best part? You donโ€™t need a massive budget to stand out. Here are 3 quick wins to make your listing pop:

โœจBoost Your Curb Appeal: A tidy front garden, clear path, and a welcoming front door do the heavy lifting before anyone even steps inside.
โœจKeep It Calm & Simple: Clear your surfaces, add a touch of fresh flowers, and let every room clearly show its purpose.
โœจTime It Right: Summer activity softens as the holidays roll on. Listing early in the month guarantees your home gets maximum exposure.

Keir Starmerโ€™s resignation will not automatically cause house prices to fall or mortgage rates to rise, but it does inject another dose of uncertainty into the UK property market.
The biggest issue is not who occupies Number 10. It is how financial markets judge the economic policies of the next Prime Minister and Chancellor.

Mortgage lenders price many fixed rate deals using swap rates, which reflect expectations about future interest rates. If investors become concerned that a new government will borrow and spend significantly more, gilt yields and swap rates could rise. That would make it harder for lenders to reduce mortgage rates and could even push some deals upwards.

So far, the immediate market reaction has been relatively restrained. However, buyers and sellers dislike uncertainty, particularly when it involves taxation, borrowing and the cost of mortgages. Some households may pause until the leadership contest and future economic direction become clearer.

An Andy Burnham government could also bring longer term changes to property taxation. He has previously supported reforming council tax and stamp duty, potentially replacing them with an annual tax linked to property values.

Scrapping stamp duty could encourage more people to move and improve mobility within the property market. However, an annual property levy could increase costs for some homeowners, landlords and owners of more expensive homes.

For now, this wont stop the property market. Serious buyers will continue buying and motivated sellers will continue selling.

Yet the speed and confidence of the market will depend on one thing above all else: whether the new government can convince financial markets that its economic sums add up.
