Are asking prices and sold prices finally moving in sync, or are buyers and sellers still miles apart? 🏡👀 In the latest edition of The UK Property Lens, we looked at Rightmove asking prices, Land Registry sold data, and our own audience polling to see what is happening across the market right now. Here are a few standalone figures from the latest issue: 🔷 40% of respondents believe a buyer's first offer should always be below the asking price. 🔷 20% of sellers who owned their home for five years or less sold at a loss in 2026. 🔷 12.3 years is now the average length of time a seller has owned their property before moving (up from 9.2 years a decade earlier). 🔷 9.2% average gross rental yields recorded in the North East, leading regional performance. From shifting buyer negotiation habits to regional resilience across northern markets, we break down what the numbers mean for estate agents, property managers, and investors. 👉 Read the full edition of The UK Property Lens here: viewber.co.uk/uk-house-price… #UKProperty #PropertyMarket #EstateAgents

Ever notice how property professionals only make headlines when something goes wrong?  Our latest guest post by Kristjan Byfield, Co-Founder of @The_Depositary dives into why the narrative around landlords and letting agents has become so one-sided, and how that shapes public perception and policy. The piece challenges the idea that landlords are inherently greedy and explains how this skewed storytelling misses the real picture - one where landlords and agents provide millions of homes, work hard behind the scenes, and often go unnoticed in debates about the future of renting. It also cuts through the noise around controversial reforms like the end of Section 21 and asks: are we making laws for headlines rather than outcomes? If you care about fair, balanced narratives and want a fresh perspective on how media and politics are shaping the UK’s private rented sector, this one’s for you. 👉 Read the full guest post: viewber.co.uk/voices-of-prop… #PRS #UKProperty #Landlords #LettingAgents
