What Does Sir Keir Starmer’s Resignation Mean for the UK Property Market?

Keir Starmer’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.

🏡 Happy Father's Day! 💙

Whether it's helping with DIY projects, mowing the lawn, building flat-pack furniture, or simply creating lasting family memories, fathers play a special role in making every home a place of comfort and love.

From all of us at Phipps & Pritchard, we wish you a wonderful Father's Day filled with family, laughter, and quality time at home.

10 years after the Brexit vote, the Kidderminster property market has not collapsed, but it has evolved.

The last decade has been anything but smooth, with political uncertainty, Covid, rising mortgage rates and changing buyer behaviour all reshaping the way people move.

Today’s Kidderminster home sellers face a more informed, more selective and more competitive market, where strong marketing and sensible pricing matter more than ever..

Will your Kidderminster home actually sell?

It is one of the questions sellers rarely ask when choosing an estate agent, yet it is probably the most important one. Across the UK, the chance of a home selling varies massively depending on where you are.

At the bottom end sits London, where only 39.8% of homes that came to the market went on to sell. The South East was not far ahead at 50.3%, with East Anglia at 51.3% and the South West at 53.7%. Move into the Midlands and the picture improves, but only slightly. East Midlands sellers saw a 56.3% chance of selling, Wales was at 58.8%, the West Midlands at 59.4%, and the North West at 60.6%. Further north, the numbers get stronger. The North East sat at 61.9%, Yorkshire and Humber at 62.3%, while Scotland performed exceptionally well at 80.5%. At the very top was Northern Ireland, where 83.3% of homes listed went on to sell.

So what does this mean for homeowners in Kidderminster?

It means selling is not automatic. Getting on the market is easy. Getting sold is the hard bit. Price, presentation, marketing, negotiation, buyer quality, chain management and the agent you choose all matter. In a market where not every home sells, the question is not just, “What is my home worth?”

The better question is, “What gives my Kidderminster home the best chance of actually selling?”

UK sales agreed are down 8.5% year on year for the first two weeks of June, falling from 55.4k in 2025 to 50.7k in 2026.

That sounds uncomfortable, but it needs context. This is not a property market that has stopped. More than 50k homes still went sale agreed in just two weeks of June is almost identical to the first two weeks of June 2024, which proves buyers are still out there and deals are still being done.

The real story is not collapse. It is selectivity.

Buyers are still buying, but they are being fussier. Sellers are still selling, but the ones who are getting results are the ones who are pricing sensibly, presenting properly and choosing agents who know how to create demand.

London has taken the biggest hit, with Outer London down 12.79% and Inner London down 12.35%, yet several regions are holding up far better, including Yorkshire and Humber at only 3.16% down and Scotland at 3.70% down.

So the message for homeowners in Kidderminster is simple.

The market is tougher than last year, but not broken. The difference between selling and sitting is no longer luck. It is strategy.
