Mortage Market update May 2026 with Ross Marshall

NEW LISTING - One of my biggest landlords is exiting the market slowly but surely due to semi-retirement and all the changes in legislation and tax rulings in recent years. Being a landlord is not as worthwhile for some as it used to be - in his eyes anyhow.

Therefore another opportunity to sell in conjunction with and find a new landlord looking for a great investment, or help a first-time buyer get on to the ladder.

A new month and therefore time to share my thanks to those who spent a few seconds writing something nice about me on the internet.

One, a colleague, who I’d like to think I have assisted get his new business off the ground, even if in some very small way when the majority of the leg-work was from himself - but he’s a fellow Kevin and we believe in supporting the tribe.

And another, a footballer connection who recognised the additional effort a self-employed person would, and did, put in over the convention agents in the area.

Thank you both.

It’s not always easy selling property even when the house involved is a special one.

Numerous buyers trying it on with low offers had to be dealt with, such is the norm at present, but the ideal buyer willing and able to offer the price required was found - but their chain was not complete and they needed help.

On Wednesday evening, I had the privilege of attending the latest TheOrg event in central London.

The group is now standing at over 150 self-employed agents under the eXp umbrella. Many were in attendance, as well as several considering joining in the near future.

Adam Day was on hand to speak and tell all current and potential eXp agents about what’s coming next.

It’s a great opportunity once a quarter for self-employed people to get together with partner agents who all share ideas, motivation, and collaborate on business opportunities.

Next month, we have our headline event at the eXp Conference in Birmingham.

If you’re considering going self-employed, now or in the future, the volume and quality of people in this room just shows you’d never be doing it alone.

Thank you to .realestate and .woods.realestate for organising.
