We’re covering all the hot topics and challenges facing the market in 2026- from offers falling through to energy efficiency. If you want to know what's happening with the gap between asking prices and sale prices, whether landlords are genuinely selling up and leaving the sector, or how agents are managing sellers with over optimistic price expectations, then this episode is for you!
