In this high pace episode, Mark Homer lays out his no-nonsense predictions for the UK property market in 2026. He covers where he thinks the real growth will be (and where it won’t) for both residential and commercial properties, why the Midlands and the North are !likely to beat London for profits, and how the Renters Reform Act, EPC rules and tax changes will actually hit landlords and developers on the ground.
If you’re serious about making money from property - whether that´s using HMOs, buy-to-lets, industrial or small-scale developments - this episode will help you to see what’s coming, where the opportunities are, and how to stay profitable in spite of the chaotic rate of change we are experiencing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
· Focus on buying stuff that stacks in today´s market - Properties that generate solid yields and cash flow, rather than chasing speculative capital growth.
· Consider shifting capital out of over‑taxed London and into stronger‑yielding Midlands and Northern markets and carefully selected industrial developments.
· Treat Renters Reform and the loss of Section 21 as a given – tighten your paperwork, ASTs, and evidence so you can still deal with problem tenants.
· Use 2026–2030 to get your stock to EPC C as cheaply and intelligently as possible.
· The right EPC assessor is worth their weight in gold.
· Despite the high levels of political and legislative change, the realities of supply and demand will exert themselves. So, those landlords and developers who adapt their strategy will remain profitable, regardless.
BEST MOMENTS
"Even Starmer and Rachel from accounts can't beat the market. They cannot beat the supply and demand curve."
" In order to get builders building again, and investors investing, capital values and rents need to go up in order to make projects viable."
"I think capital growth probably will come back to something like four or 5% that's assuming that Bank of England base rate drops maybe half a percent by the end of 2026."
