Private Rented Sector (PRS) ChallengesA workshop by Pegasus Insight, with input from Zoopla and others, highlighted the instability in the rental market due to constant government policy changes.PRS landlord ownership has shifted—single-property landlords fell from 78% in 2010 to 45% in 2024.Concerns over the Renters' Reform Bill and potential capital gains tax changes have alarmed landlords.Many landlords plan to raise rents (62%) and be more selective with tenants (81%), with only 5% looking to expand their portfolios.Housing Supply and DemandDemand for PRS housing is projected to rise by 150,000 households annually until 2036, but only 45,000 new units are being added each year.Calls for stability in taxation and legislation to sustain investment in the sector.Vatican Property DisputeThe UK court ruled that Italian financier Raffaele Mincione "let down" the Vatican in a failed luxury London property deal, leading to a €140 million loss.Mincione sought legal declarations of good faith but was found to have fallen short of expected communication standards.Leasehold Reform ConcernsGovernment leasehold reform efforts must balance protecting homeowners while ensuring financial stability, as many freeholds are tied to UK pension funds.Labour argues against retrospective ground rent caps, warning they could shift wealth to foreign investors and undermine UK property investment.Stamp Duty IncreasesJanuary 2025 saw a £40m increase in stamp duty receipts due to buyers rushing before April 1, when the nil-rate threshold halves from £250,000 to £125,000.Experts warn higher SDLT costs could deter buyers, but falling interest rates might offset the impact.Later Living Housing CrisisThe UK faces a shortage of homes for over-65s, with demand for 30,000–50,000 new units annually but only 7,000 being built.Government and private sector involvement are needed to expand age-friendly housing and reduce pressure on healthcare systems.Short-Term Rental Surge in LondonSome landlords own over 20 properties each, with short-term lets making up 3% of London’s housing stock (40% in Westminster, 35% in Kensington & Chelsea).Westminster Council warns of affordability issues, while Labour-led councils push for stricter regulations.Airbnb argues that short-term lets benefit tourism, contributing £1.5bn to the economy.Authorities are expected to introduce tighter controls to balance housing needs with the tourism industry.

Podcast Description: Home Buying and Selling Set to Become Faster and More Affordable
The UK property market is set for a major transformation! The government has announced ambitious reforms aimed at modernising the home buying and selling process, making it quicker, cheaper, and less stressful for millions of people. Currently, transactions take nearly five months on average, but new digital solutions will improve efficiency, transparency, and reliability.
🔑 Key Changes Coming:
✔ Digitisation of Property Data – Faster access to key information, reducing paperwork and delays.
✔ Digital Identity Verification – No more repeated ID checks, making transactions smoother.
✔ Lower Fall-Through Rates – One in three transactions currently fail, costing buyers and sellers £400 million a year—this reform aims to prevent that.By learning from international models like Norway, where transactions complete in just one month, the UK is set to revolutionise the property market.
🏡 Leaseholder Reforms:
Major updates will give leaseholders greater control over their buildings, remove unfair legal fees, and make it easier to challenge excessive service charges—potentially saving thousands of pounds.🏗 Bigger Picture: Can Labour’s Housing Plans Deliver?
The government has committed to 1.5 million new homes by 2029, reinstating housing targets for councils and pushing for faster planning approvals. But is this bold enough? Experts argue that while the ambition is there, challenges remain—from planning backlogs to a shortage of skilled workers.📉 Landlords Are Leaving – What’s Next for Renters?
A record two-thirds of landlords are planning to exit or reduce their portfolios in 2025, citing tighter regulations and financial pressures. With rental supply already tight and prices rising, what does this mean for the future of renting?🌍 International Property & Travel: New Taxes on UK Buyers?
Spain has introduced new property taxes for UK buyers, and France, Greece, and Portugal may follow. How will this impact Brits investing abroad?🔋 Energy Efficiency Shake-Up for Landlords:
New rules will require landlords to meet stricter energy performance standards from 2028. Many will need to invest up to £6,500 per property—but will the system work?📈 Central London Office Market on the Rise
Despite economic challenges, prime office rents in London grew by 7.8% last year. Investment is still cautious, but signs of a recovery are emerging as global capital flows return to the city.🎧 Tune in now for expert insights on all these topics and more!

Market Insights:
As we look ahead to 2025, London house prices are expected to remain largely stable. While we might see a slight increase in transaction volumes, it likely won’t be enough to push prices significantly higher. Stock levels are strong and growing, which means sellers will need to be realistic with their pricing.By the end of 2025, we could see a modest price increase of around 4-5%, but overall, the market is likely to tread water for the next few years. That means while transactions will continue, prices won’t experience major spikes or drops—just small fluctuations across different areas of London.
What This Means for You:
For buyers and sellers, this market stability brings confidence and predictability. With clearer pricing, transactions may become smoother, but expectations need to be realistic.Final Thoughts & Call to Action:

🏡 The Truth About the Renters' Reform Bill 🎙️
The Labor Party’s property reforms are coming—but are they as bad as landlords fear? 🤔 While long-term tenants provide stability, the real challenge is evictions. Without proper court funding, removing problem tenants will be a nightmare. The government needs housing tribunals to ensure smooth exits.
📉 The bigger issue? Landlords selling up. With Section 21 gone and tax benefits slashed, rental supply is shrinking—pushing prices UP! Meanwhile, leaseholders are still waiting on much-needed reforms. Will Labor fix this mess?

Wealthy buyers in London prioritize discretion, location, quality, and value. Many prefer understated homes in prime areas like Chelsea Square, where exteriors can be deceiving. Location remains the top priority, with access to top schools, transport, dining, and entertainment. Buyers seek spacious properties with unique amenities, but central postcodes demand a premium. Convenience is key—many favor high-end developments like Whiteleys and Mayfair for services like concierge, underground parking, and luxury facilities. However, period properties remain a staple. Ultimately, quality is non-negotiable, with buyers expecting the best.

Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving into some major shifts in the UK property market, from potential mortgage rule changes to foreign investment trends and the rise of a new generation of wealthy buyers. Let’s get started.
Easing Mortgage Rules—Will It Really Help?
The UK government is considering loosening mortgage regulations, particularly the loan-to-income flow limit, to boost home ownership and drive economic growth. But will it work?
After the global financial crisis, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) tightened mortgage rules to prevent reckless lending. That’s why mortgage arrears and repossessions have stayed much lower than they were during the crisis. Even though the FCA removed mandatory stress testing in 2022, lenders still apply their own risk assessments, meaning any regulatory changes might not have a huge impact.
The Bank of England’s data suggests that mortgage rules haven’t been the main problem for first-time buyers—it’s the massive deposits they need to put down. So, while relaxing regulations might increase borrowing capacity, it could also push house prices even higher if supply doesn’t keep up with demand. That could make home ownership even tougher, rather than easier.
The big question: Can the government encourage more home ownership without overheating the market?
Foreign Investment—Why Prime London is Losing Its Shine
For years, London’s prime property market was a magnet for global wealth. But in late 2024, things shifted. Buyer registrations were down 8%, and offers fell by 11%. Since its peak in 2015, prime central London property prices have dropped 18%.
Why? A mix of political uncertainty, higher borrowing costs, and tax changes for foreign investors. The government’s tweaks to the temporary repatriation facility offer a small tax break, but the real issue is inheritance tax on overseas trusts. Until that’s resolved, wealthy investors will keep moving their money to places like Italy, Switzerland, and the Middle East.
Surprisingly, prime outer London has held up better, with transactions rising 10% compared to just 3% in prime central areas. It seems London is no longer the automatic first choice for global investors.
The Rise of Younger, Fast-Moving Millionaires
Another big shift? A new generation of wealthy buyers is transforming London’s super-prime property scene.
Traditionally, luxury homebuyers were in their 50s and 60s. But today, many are in their 30s and 40s, having made their fortunes in tech, finance, and digital industries. And with millennials set to inherit £5.5 trillion over the next 30 years, this trend is only just beginning.
But sudden wealth isn’t always easy to navigate. Some struggle with the costs of prime London property, while others feel pressure from family expectations or worry about standing out too much in their social circles. Plus, many underestimate how competitive the market can be—assuming money alone will guarantee the property they want. With rising stamp duty and other costs, making the wrong property decision can be expensive.
So, some advisers suggest younger buyers should take their time, settle into their financial stat

Modernizing Property Transactions
The government has announced major reforms to streamline property transactions and reduce costs for home buyers and sellers. A key focus is the digitization of property data, aiming to make the process faster and more transparent.
Currently, land registry data has been available since 2000, but accessing and using it requires expensive software development. There are solutions that use the data and can analyse the data but subscriptions are costing between £1,500 and £2,000 per month. On top of that, the data is often outdated, as it can take three to six months for solicitors' information to be updated on transaction details.
To tackle this, the reforms propose improving access to land registry data and ensuring it is updated more efficiently. This could involve upgrading the underlying systems and regulations to speed up the process.
Beyond data, the reforms also address the overall property transaction system. In London, for example, leaseholds, managing agents, and intense market competition create significant delays. One solution being considered is allowing estate agents to manage the entire transaction process while ensuring they maintain proper qualifications.
This shift could lead to better service and faster transactions, as well-trained agents would be better equipped to support buyers and sellers through the often complex and costly process.
The ultimate goal? A modernized, consumer-friendly property market—with improved data infrastructure, smarter regulations, and more accountable real estate professionals.

The speakers are Marc von Grundherr of Benham & Reeves , Jeremy Davidson , Farnaz Fazaipour, Matt Smith & David Mckee. Leading experts in London's property market. They discussed the potential impact of the Labour Party's property reforms, particularly the Renters' Rights Bill, on landlords.
Marc von Grundherr argued that the reforms may not be as problematic as feared, as landlords seeking long-term tenants could benefit from more stability. However, highlighted the issue of evicting problematic tenants, noting the need for a more efficient court system or housing tribunals to handle this.
Jeremy Davidson shared a personal experience as a tenant whose landlord failed to renew the tenancy agreement, questioning who benefits in such situations.
Farnaz Fazaipour criticized the reforms, arguing they will demonize landlords and lead to more landlords selling their properties, thereby increasing rental prices.
Farnaz Fazaipour emphasized the need for the Labour Party to prioritize passing the Leasehold Reform Act, as it has been pending for years and is causing a standstill in the market for those with short leases.
Finally, David Mckee concluded that the reforms will negatively impact small-term buy-to-let investors, pushing the market towards large-scale landlords, which could shrink the supply of rentals in prime residential areas.
The overall sentiment was that the Labour Party's property reforms, while well-intentioned, could have unintended consequences for the rental market and landlords if not carefully implemented.PROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.
