Keir Starmer has resigned. Andy Burnham looks set to walk straight into No.10 — less a leadership race, more a coronation. I’ve been in this industry for 20 years. And I’ll tell you what I know for certain: property markets don’t fear bad news. They fear not knowing.

The succession itself may be swift. But what follows is less predictable. Burnham has long supported Land Value Tax and overhauling Stamp Duty. Whether you think that’s good or bad policy, what it does right now is put a question mark over every high-value transaction in this country.

Buyers and sellers at the top end of the market will likely adopt a wait-and-see approach until there’s greater clarity on where government policy is heading — particularly around housing, taxation and the broader economy.

We’ve seen this before. It doesn’t have to mean paralysis. But it does mean decisions will be made more cautiously until the picture clears.

There were plenty of excellent speakers at the eXp UK 2026 Conference in Birmingham this week, covering everything from AI and lead generation to growth and performance. But the talk that really struck a chord with me was the keynote from Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. It was also good to catch up with Leo again and spend some time chatting over lunch.

What was interesting is that his presentation wasn’t really about real estate at all. It was about words!

Leo’s central message was that the words we use — especially the ones we say to ourselves — shape the reality we experience.

He spoke about how we are rarely “ready” for the biggest opportunities in life, whether that’s becoming a parent, starting a business, changing career, or taking on a leadership role. Progress begins not when we’re ready, but when we decide. Events themselves are often neutral but what matters is the meaning we choose to attach to them. Two people can face exactly the same setback, yet one sees failure while the other sees an opportunity to learn and improve. Leo described language as “generative” rather than merely descriptive. In other words, our words don’t just describe our world — they help create it.

His closing thought was memorable:

“Words are magical. You walk around casting spells that create your reality. What do you think it’s called? Spelling?”

Earlier in my career, a straightforward leasehold sale could exchange in four weeks. Today, even two months can feel quick. But the longer a transaction takes, the greater the risk that confidence drains away before exchange.

According to LonRes data cited by the FT, the median time from a Prime London property going under offer to exchanging contracts was 97 days in the first five months of 2026. Over the same period, Prime London saw around 650 properties going under offer each month, but around 150 fall-throughs per month. That is a significant proportion of deals failing before they become legally binding.

The FT also notes that properties lingering on the market for a year or more saw average discounts of 19%, compared with 3.6% for properties going under offer within three months.

For sellers, the message is clear: preparation matters. Before launching a property, especially a leasehold flat, it is worth having the legal pack, lease information, management documents, service charge accounts, licences for alterations, planning consents and any relevant compliance paperwork ready from day one.

Good presentation attracts the buyer. Good preparation helps keep the deal alive.

One of the things I’ve always enjoyed most about working in property is the international side of the business. Over the past 20 years, through LondonDom, I’ve helped clients buy, sell and manage properties not only in London, but also in Portugal, France, Italy and other markets. Most of my clients are international themselves, often moving between countries, investing abroad or building homes in more than one place.

That’s one of the reasons why joining eXp felt like a natural next step. The network now gives me direct access to trusted agents and partners across around 30 countries — USA, Canada, Australia, Turkey, Japan, South Africa, India, UAE, and most of Europe — making international collaboration and cross-border property searches far more seamless for clients.

You’d think it’s a show home, but it’s a real home—and we are loving it. The owners have created something truly special in this newly built Battersea apartment, with carefully selected, high-end finishes that set it apart from the standard units in the development. Every interior detail has been thoughtfully upgraded—from the bespoke Poggenpohl kitchen with its Calacatta gold marble island to the stylish, custom-built wardrobes.

And then there’s the terrace—a vast, wraparound space with breathtaking, uninterrupted views over London, where you can follow the sun from sunrise to sunset.

What makes this home truly exceptional? The additional room adjacent to the principal bedroom—a stylish home office, a cosy nursery, or the walk-in dressing room you’ve always wanted.

Set within Coda Residences, which offers all the perks of a high-quality modern development—24-hour concierge, gym, underground parking and landscaped gardens—this apartment is in a league of its own. Stylish, sophisticated, and ready for someone new to fall in love with it.

The new year is here, and 2025 is already shaping up to be a dynamic year for London’s property market. With stabilising interest rates and shifting buyer priorities, we’re seeing exciting opportunities emerge. A key trend to watch is the rising interest from US-based buyers, spurred by the recent US election. London remains a sought-after destination for international investors, drawn by its reputation as a global financial hub and cultural capital.

Another major factor shaping the market is the increase in stamp duty charges coming into effect on 1st April. The first quarter is expected to be especially busy as buyers and investors race to complete transactions ahead of the higher rates. Combined with the growing number of companies requiring employees to spend more time in the office, demand for homes in the capital is on the rise, marking what could be a turning point for London’s housing market.

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or invest, LondonDom is here to guide you through the evolving market with confidence. Wishing you a successful start to 2025!

Stockholm is set to lead Europe’s prime housing markets in 2025 with a forecasted 6% growth, recovering from a 13% drop since mid-2022. Knight Frank credits interest rate cuts by the Riksbank for the market’s revival. By comparison, London’s prime market is projected to grow just 2%—its best result in over a decade, but still the lowest among ten key cities and resorts.
