In this episode of the OMZ Property Podcast, we sit down with experienced London estate agent and property investor Jeroen Hoppe to uncover the truth about the UK property market in 2026.

With over 20 years in estate agency, Jeroen shares his journey from corporate agent to business owner, property investor, and now a modern “personal brand” estate agent.

We also explore:

Why most estate agents are focused on volume over results

The biggest mistakes sellers make when listing their home

How presentation and pricing can make or break a sale

The reality of Rightmove, property portals, and rising costs

Why London’s property market has shifted (and where it’s heading)

The growing gap between flats and houses

How video and social media are changing the way homes are sold

The truth about corporate vs independent estate agents

Yurun’s personal story, including setbacks, rebuilding, and lessons learned

Whether you're a homeowner, investor, or considering a career in property, this episode gives you a real, unfiltered look at the industry.

From veterinary surgeon to full-time property investor, Francisco Diaz shares an incredible journey through the world of UK property investing.

In this episode of the OMZ Property Podcast, Francisco opens up about how he went from working as a vet at Imperial College London to building a substantial property portfolio, including HMOs, below-market-value deals, and a major development project that turned an old pub into a high-end 13-room asset.
