The slowest way to sell your property — and potentially get the WORST price — is to overprice it. 🏡

I know what you're thinking…

“If my house is worth £200,000, why not put it on at £205,000 or £210,000? Everyone negotiates anyway, so I'll probably end up at £200,000.”

But that's not how buyers behave — particularly in a price-sensitive market.

Buyers don't always negotiate with overpriced properties. Often, they simply ignore them.

And that's where the problem starts.

Eventually, you reduce the price to where it probably should have been in the first place. But by then, the property has been sitting on the market and buyers can see the reduction.

Instead of seeing a fresh property at the right price, they're now thinking:

“How much of a deal can I get?”

Pricing correctly from day one isn't about giving your property away. It's about creating the strongest possible interest when your property is fresh to the market — and putting yourself in the best position to achieve the strongest price.

If you're thinking of selling and want some advice on pricing your property, send us a message.

🏡 A tenant could move in… and give notice almost immediately.

Under the new rules, tenants can give two months’ notice from the outset of the tenancy. In practical terms, that means someone could move in and potentially be moving back out around two months later.

I actually support giving tenants greater security. Moving home involves time, hassle and expense, and tenants deserve protection.

But landlords have costs too.

Preparing the property, compliance, marketing, administration, inventories and finding the right tenant all take time and money.

Personally, I think there’s an argument for some form of minimum commitment from tenants too — even if that were just six months.

But the rules are the rules, and landlords need to adapt.

For me, that makes professional tenant referencing more important than ever.

✅ Proper referencing
✅ Proper due diligence
✅ No shortcuts
✅ Leave no stone unturned

If you’re a landlord and want professional help finding and referencing the right tenant, get in touch.

🏦 BANK OF ENGLAND HOLDS RATES AT 3.75%

The Bank of England has decided to keep the base rate at 3.75%.

However, mortgage rates have started creeping up recently, with inflation rising and concerns that it could remain higher for longer.

The good news is that the relatively small movement we've seen isn't likely to dramatically change affordability for most buyers — although it could make an already price-sensitive market that little bit more sensitive.

Interestingly, rising mortgage rates don't always mean buyer demand immediately falls.

Sometimes the opposite happens.

Buyers who are already considering moving can suddenly feel a greater sense of urgency to get on with it and secure a mortgage deal before rates potentially increase further.

🏡 And the important thing in the current market?

Properties are selling.

But the marketing approach, presentation and — most importantly — the price have to be right from the start.

🏠 Waiting for the housing market to crash? You could be waiting a VERY long time.

Yes, the market has slowed.

There are fewer buyers around and buyers have more choice — but that doesn’t automatically mean house prices are about to crash.

At the same time, mortgage rates have risen and there’s still considerable uncertainty around inflation, energy prices and the conflict in the Middle East.

Nobody knows exactly what happens next.

But if you’re financially ready to buy the right property now, is waiting for a crash that may never come worth the risk of borrowing becoming more expensive?

For me, I’d concentrate on buying the right property, at the right price, when you’re ready to buy — rather than trying to perfectly time the market.

If you enjoy straightforward property and market advice, give me a follow.

🏠 IS IT STILL WORTH BEING A LANDLORD — OR SHOULD YOU SELL?

Over the last 6–12 months, we’ve seen a significant number of landlords leave the rental market, many in anticipation of the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force.

But it’s contributed to the opposite of what was intended.

📉 Fewer rental properties
🏠 Less choice for tenants
📈 Higher rents

And this is where the opportunity could lie.

Sometimes in business, you have to look at what the masses are doing — and consider doing the opposite.

Would I sell a sound investment property right now simply because other landlords are leaving?

No, I wouldn’t.

I still believe property can be a fantastic medium-to-long-term investment. For investors looking to buy, there’s more choice available, some excellent investment properties on the market and potentially more room to negotiate.

But there is one big difference:

⚠️ Property investment is no longer for amateurs.

You need to buy the right property, understand the numbers, stay fully compliant and manage it properly.

I believe landlords prepared to ride out this period could ultimately find themselves in a much stronger position than those who panic and sell unnecessarily.
