UK Property Market Stats Show - Week 36 2026 - Ep.2635

UK Property Market: What Is Really Going On Beneath the Headlines?

The UK property market headlines only tell you so much. In this week’s show, we get underneath them and look at what actually happened last week, from new listings and price reductions to sales agreed, fall-thrus and exchanges. More importantly, we ask what those numbers are really telling estate agents about the market they are working in right now.

Joining me is Bryan Mansell, and as you might expect, the statistics very quickly turn into a few home truths for estate agents. We get into overvaluing, why agents leave price reductions too late, whether there really is such a thing as a buyers’ or sellers’ market, upfront surveys, reservation agreements and why getting the instruction is pointless if the strategy afterwards does not actually help the homeowner move.

In the second part of the show, we head to Weymouth and put the local Weymouth estate agents under the microscope. Not simply who lists the most homes, but who actually gives homeowners the strongest chance of moving, who achieves the better prices and who appears to be gaining ground locally. If you are an estate agent anywhere in the UK, the way we analyse Weymouth might give you a few ideas about how you could prove your own value too.
