We cannot dress this up; the remainder of 2023 will be challenging for the UK property market.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Super-prime UK with Rob Cohen and James Wild from valuation specialists MJ Group International. This week we discuss record-low mortgage lending, weekly sales data, the future of inflation, and course the, football. 

It's great to be back after the king's coronation! We are going through a transitional period in the market, with key economic indicators moving. There is a solid foundation for deals and transactions, but because of the long weekends, it has slowed a little. Conflicting data is circulating and whispers about a strong June and July. Is this possibly the end of the inflation hikes?

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the super-prime UK podcast. We are back from MIPIM, and what a great time we have had—a big thank you to our clients, lenders and banks who invited us to extraordinary events. Activity levels from agents, surveyors and transactions have started ramping up, which shows in the sales data. Bank Of England raises base rate for the 11th consecutive time.  Zoopla's rental market data lacks stock, whilst February’s lending statistics were the lowest since 2016.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the sentiment in the prime and super-prime sectors remains positive. Rob has been lecturing at Oxford, and we are preparing for MIPIM on the 14th and 17th of March in Paris; see you there!

The UK avoids a technical recession whilst inflation falls. Mortgage rates calm for five-year fixed products as the economy stabilises.

Mortgage Rates stabilise, but the market remains subdued. However, the feel of the market is changing, and we are witnessing the chains of the last two years slackening. - Super-Prime Deals Are Still Trading!
