Subdued Property Market!
Certainly, in the run up to the 28th October 2026 budget, the Term “Subdued” to describe the condition of the Market is going to be very well used!
Drawing on our over 40 years Experience/Expertise the following points come very firmly to mind!
- Don’t Sell unless you absolutely have to, as it certainly is a Buyer’s Market and your realisation will be Very suppressed.
- Price will be vital to attract interest and a Bona Fide Purchaser.
- Necessary Essential Repairs still may have to be attended to in order to attract your Buyer.
- The Letting Price is also very important to attract the right Calibre Tenants and also the condition of the Property overall. If either overpriced or in a poor condition will put any dates to achieve a new tenancy very much back!
- For Let properties, do bear in mind record Rents are being achieved and are forecast to increase accordingly.
- Responsibilities as a Landlord have to be completed with (Legal or Non-Legal), but they will be worth it!
- Tenancy Lengths have increased.
- A good Tenant will agree to reasonable Market Rent increase suggestions, but they must be positively Looked after and not taken for granted, even if this incurs some Expense.
Additionally, we are always available to undertake for you, if you Self-Manage, a Free Compliance check, if you contact us!
