UK Property Market Stats Show - Week 44 2026 - Ep.2674

The UK Property Market is apparently at death’s door. Someone might want to tell the buyers, because they are still buying. And in serious numbers. Doom. Gloom. the Budget, the Gulf. Apparently, every estate agent having a bad month is now a victim of the economy. But what if the market is not nearly as bad as some agents need you to believe? This week, Nick Neill joins me on the UK Property Market Stats Show (on Youtube) to separate the facts from the excuses. Overvaluing to win instructions. Cutting fees to win business. Waiting three months before having the pricing conversation that should have happened on day one. And then blaming the market when nothing sells. The numbers tell a rather uncomfortable story. Because sometimes it is not the property market that is broken. It is the estate agency strategy. & mindset. Winning the instruction is easy when you promise the homeowner what they want to hear. Selling the bloody house is the bit that proves whether you are any good. If you are an estate agent who wants to know what is REALLY happening in the UK property market, rather than hiding behind headlines, watch this week's show on YouTube Nick & I will show you the UK property market numbers, challenge the excuses and ask some questions that a few estate agents would probably rather we kept to ourselves. Watch it. You might discover the market is not your biggest problem… 🟩   Listings Week 44 .. 28.7k new listings this week, (27.5k last week).
