The Government has taken a significant step towards abolishing leasehold properties in England and Wales, introducing a white paper that proposes making commonhold the default tenure for flats and apartments. The reforms, which aim to phase out leasehold for the 4,006,038 English & Welsh leasehold homes, have been described as the “beginning of the end” […]
As we hit the third week of December, the Erdington property market does slow down ready for the big day. It’s at this time of year, I like to work out the total value of every home in Erdington, and how that value has changed since 2010 (as that was the bottom of the market […]
The Chancellor’s Autumn Budget has finally arrived after months of rumour, leaked ideas and speculation. Many households in Erdington had braced themselves for a sweeping new annual tax on homes above £500,000. That proposal has now been dropped, which removes the biggest cloud that had been hanging over the local market. Instead, the Government has […]
Some homes in Erdington fly off the market within weeks. Others sit for months, attract only a handful of viewings, then quietly disappear from the portals, unsold. The difference isn’t luck, it’s sellability. Would it surprise you that of the 10.94 million homes that have left UK estate agents books since January 2019, only 6.33 […]
Are you an Erdington homeowner considering a move in the next six to twelve months? Perhaps you’re a buy-to-let landlord weighing up whether to expand or streamline your portfolio? Or maybe you’re a first-time buyer wondering if now is the right moment to take the plunge? Whatever your position, knowing whether the Erdington market […]

The UK housing market has always been subject to government policy announcements, outside forces of economics, and consumer confidence fluctuations. After a turbulent 2024, there is evidence that 2025 will provide more stability and growth—particularly in areas such as Erdington, where affordability, high demand, and improved financial situations are coming together to create a helpful […]

Last week, the Bank of England’s interest rate dropped to 4.5%, marking its third cut in under a year. This decision follows a previous reduction in November 2024, with the rate remaining unchanged in December. While most of the Bank’s policymakers supported the move to 4.5%, a minority favoured a more aggressive cut to 4.25%, […]

When browsing property portals (Rightmove, Zoopla or On The Market), many people wonder why some Erdington homes linger on the market far longer than others. It’s easy to assume there’s something wrong – an issue with the property, an inflated asking price, or a lack of interest – but that’s not always the case. Sometimes, […]

The issue of new housebuilding in the UK stirs strong emotions. Many believe their local areas are turning into construction zones, with too many homes being built, disrupting the character of towns and villages. But is this perception grounded in reality? The Labour government, which came into power in the summer of 2024, has set […]

This interesting question was posed by one of my Erdington landlord’s teenage daughters when they dropped into my offices before the Christmas break (doesn’t that seem an age away now?). I didn’t know the answer off the top of my head, yet I promised I would find out. So, over the Christmas holidays, I […]

An analysis of last year’s property market and what will happen in 2025? As an experienced estate and letting agent based in Erdington, I like to monitor the UK and Erdington property market trends.

Smaller household sizes are one of the reasons the Erdington (and the UK) property market and house prices will continue to hold up well in the medium to long term. British households for the last 100 years have been getting smaller, and this trend will drive demand for property and help give stability and growth […]

Wealth in Property, But Nowhere to Go For decades, baby boomers in the UK have been the quiet beneficiaries of a housing market that has worked in their favour. Rising property prices and a growing housing shortage have pushed home values sky-high, giving this generation substantial equity in their homes. However, as more […]
