- Why don't Self-Employed Agents do Lettings? - Ep. 2639Why are so many self-employed estate agents avoiding lettings?

- The Wrong KPI's in Agency - Ep. 2638Are estate agents measuring the right KPIs? I sit down with Jerry Lyons and Nick Cheshire from The Ethical Agent Network to explore why completion rates matter more than valuations and listings, and how focusing on the right metrics builds trust, improves customer service and delivers better outcomes for clients.5 min
- Self-Employed vs Employed Agency - Ep. 2637Is self employed estate agency really the future of the UK property market? I sit down with Teddy Kleindienst to discuss personal branding, client experience, industry growth, and whether the self employed model can deliver on its promises or if the high street still has the edge.9 min

- UK Property Market Stats Show - Week 36 2026 - Ep.2635UK 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.🟩 ListingsWeek 36 ..36.7k new listings this week, (31.7k last week).Weekly 2026 average : 36k.10 year week 36 average : 35kYear to Date1.299m new listings YTD, which is …0.5% below 2025 YTD (1.306m)2.6% ahead of 2024 YTD (1.267m)10.2% ahead of 2023 YTD (1.175m)9.7% higher than the 2017–19 average YTD (1.175m).The last decade average - 1.190m🟩 UK Gross Resi SalesWeek 36..23k homes sold stc this week 33 (18.7k last week)(Dont forget last week (wk 35) was a Bank Holiday)10 year week 36 average : 24.5k2026 weekly average : 24.3k.Year to Date for house sales874k UK homes sold stc YTD, which is …7.3% lower than 2025 YTD (943k)1.6% lower to 2024 YTD (889k)11% higher than 2023 YTD (787k)5.3% higher above pre Covid 2017-19 years (830k).The last decade average - 880k YTD🟩 UK Net Resi Sales YTD(Net Sales being Gross Sales less Sale Fall Thrus).Week 3617.7k Net Sales (13.5k last week)(Dont forget last week (wk 35) was a Bank Holiday)10 year Week 36 average: 18.3k.Weekly average for 2026: 18.8k.Year to Date676k UK net home sales YTD, which is …6.1% lower than 2025 (720k),1.2% lower than 2024 (684k),14.1% ahead of 2023 (592k)3.4% above the 2017/18/19 average (654k).🟩 Exchanges & Withdrawals• 77.1k Exchanges in August 2026• 63.2k Withdrawals in August 2026(Note these numbers will change slightly as more stats from August come in)• Therefore, in August 2026, just 55% of homes that left agents’ books exchanged & completed in July (the rest - 45% withdrew, unsold)• 57.6% is the 7 year average exchange to listings ratio (which includes the crazy years post lockdown 18 months).🟥 Want more in-depth analysis on these stats ??Watch this week’s episode (week 36) of the ‘UK Property Market Stats Show’ with Bryan Mansell on YouTube here …https://youtu.be/MgywIxxzVlQ1 hr 6 min
