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.

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.

Richard Adamson and George Walker, Allsop Auctioneers are joined by Vijay Parikh, Managing Partner of Harold Benjamin Solicitors and Seb Verity, Allsop’s Head of Research in a four way conversation.

Whilst many markets had been waiting for the Budget before making their next steps, the Trump result also took many by surprise and will have similar long term impacts. Was it more important to the UK than the Budget, now that we have had time to reflect on both?

Will investors turn more to “property and gold in these uncertain times”?

How have Harold Benjamin’s clients been preparing for the longer term?

Seb Verity leads on many points with his appetite for data analysis and throws some light on some of the not so obvious forces driving both markets and how things might develop from here.

Allsop has transacted over £150m in the last month across all sectors and lot sizes so there is plenty to talk about,
