In this episode: The landlord exodus. Regulation (Renters' Reform, EPC requirements) is pushing out the smaller property investor, and even some private landlords that have accumulated real scale, with one current instruction a portfolio built up over twenty years. Who's replacing them. Propcos with private equity behind them, professionalising management and needing larger lot sizes, alongside overseas UHNW capital treating the UK as a safe haven for medium to long term wealth preservation. Where pricing has moved. Prime, peripheral and tertiary yields have all shifted out, and the gap between pricing expectations and the cost of money is doing the work. Jimmy and Mark put numbers on it. Freehold trades, leasehold struggles. Straightforward freehold blocks and house portfolios hold demand; long leaseholds, broken portfolios and geographically scattered stock are far harder, with fire safety and cladding remedial costs having a material effect. The regional case. Population, first-time buyer age, rental growth and ten-year capital growth in the major regional cities, and why the fundamentals rather than the sentiment are the argument. Institutional appetite. PRS versus BTR, supported and social housing, and the aggregation play needed to get portfolios to pension-fund scale. £5m, on air. Where would each of them put it, and why? Jimmy and Mark pick a strategy and a location, and they don't pick the same thing.

2025 was a year that ended with one of the biggest residential auctions of all time, raising £77M and a long awaited cut to interest rates – this is typically the catalyst that the commercial market needs to drive demand. As we review last year we also make our informed predictions of what 2026 holds. Both Auctioneers discuss the different forces driving the buyers and sellers, with a significant increase in Housing Associations and REITS selling last year, which is likely to continue and some new overseas buyers buying in to commercial assets for the first time. Is that a turning point in the market? There is a lot to cover. “So much is moving in the wider Residential market”, says Seb Verity who reflects on his normal wide range of topics from the impact of rising obsolescence in all its forms, to what is holding back the Government’s new build targets. The entire panel conclude the episode with their thoughts on how they would invest £5m in their markets and why.

George, Adam and Ben explore the story of this progress, the key moments, their most memorable auction purchase and several hints and tips for active investors in today’s market, where opportunities remain to be taken. Whilst the team of 30 is still active in the auction sector, their appetite for deals spreads further afield. Harkalm are typically investing £60-£70m annually into 30 or so mostly vacant properties to re position to clients and occupiers needs across several sectors. Having started on the High Street with national bookmakers like Coral, they work across many sectors from convenience stores and nurseries, now including drive through developments and a new and interesting expertise providing Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools. All of their experience is focussed on creating institutional grade investment property to hold or trade on to a very receptive Private Investor market. Following some advice from a business coach who said “you can’t run a supermarket or cornershop practices” they have captured the process for themselves. The market knowledge which they have leveraged so well over the years has now been integrated in their own in house “dating site” for buildings and tenants with the help of specialist data scientist working in house. To close we ask how each of them would invest a £5m windfall in today’s market, for themselves and secondly for a passive investor seeking safe income and wealth preservation.

This episode of the Allsop Propchat explores how AI has already influenced the production of some of the most comprehensive and accurate valuation reports in the market. While the technology brings clear efficiencies, there are still limitations within current systems that demand the same level of diligence from valuation professionals as ever. Handled in the right way, however, the general view is that the time saved can allow for deeper thinking and ultimately lead to a better product for our clients — who then often use their own systems to summarise our reports. We also discuss the RICS guidance note, which is in the process of being finalised ahead of its formal adoption in Autumn 2025.   Follow Allsop and our speakers George Walker, Seb Verity, Evie Robertson, and Freya Morrow on social media.

With 70 years of auction experience between them, our Allsop Auctioneers discuss some of the drivers for buyers and sellers in this tricky market. With over 1500 lots sold in the first half of the year there are both highs and lows and some extraordinary prices achieved, which almost defines how hard it is to price stock. The pool of buyers continues to expand – where do they come from and what are they competing the hardest for? With some commercial examples we also review the revival of retail and how returns compare to other sectors and what buyers compete most for. The second half of the year is hard to predict but we are anticipation an improving market in both the residential and commercial sectors – we discuss why.   George Walker LinkedIn/George Walker   Richard Adamson  LinkedIn/Richard Adamson   Will Clough LinkedIn/Will Clough      Allsop LinkedIn X Facebook YouTube Instagram   Don't forget, if you’ve enjoyed listening, please rate us and consider writing a review.
