Might be worth waiting til the budget. There are going to be seismic shocks to the tax eco system for sure so will be adopting wait and see approach til then. If CGT goes up to match income tax rates (as they have moored) there could be a landlord and second homer fire sale.
These guys have no idea what is coming,and when it happens you will be able to smell the shock.
Only time will tell
Spot on, prices are much lower. Wait a year or two and you will pay more for a property, makes sense to buy a place at a slightly higher interest rate as in this situation, it will go down. Bought my first place on a higher interest rate and benefited when the interest rate reduced and the equity also increased over time.
Great move 👌
Nice cleavage! 😎
But what if no high street estate agent is willing to enter into a rolling contract to sell the flat? Then what? I spoke to four and they all want either a sole agency or sole selling contract.
Sole agency and sole selling is fine. It's the 12-24 week tie in that isn't fine
Thank you, @@power_bespoke! I will try and negotiate.
She literally just said “it’s your house, but you can’t take that right away from the buyer” Except, he doesn’t want them to view it so…that’s definitely his right
There's more in the main video. We were speaking about whether buyers who are not in a proceedable position should be allowed to view kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqh-0tOyj7y_YJs.htmlsi=N-4ygTdp1jKD_vue
If I were to spend £2.2m on my property of a lifetime, I'd most certainly want more distance from any neighbours. Other than that, this is a very nice house.
How long do you advise before dropping price and by what %. Been on for 3 months, Priced at 900,000. We have had 14 viewers but no offers, two said they’d offer but not sold. House is disproportionately larger downstairs due to extension. School holidays may mean it’s going to be quiet so considering coming off and going back on in Sep with new agent, new pics. Market quiet in my area. Any advice?
It really depends. Rightmove data suggests you'll receive 70% of interest in the first 4 weeks of marketing. This video helps explain that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZZp5madsZquxe6g.htmlsi=yKD7tT66tV0d1wb2 It also depends on what the houses you are competing with are doing. Are they selling? Are they reducing to sell? Are things just abit slower. Looking at the backend marketing data, how is your property competing against others on the market? But for sure, a rest off the market is a good idea depending on what your local market is doing. Feel free to book an advice call and a member of our team can give you advice based on your exact situation 😁
I was searching for some land and found a nice lot but didn't like the price so i made an almost insulting offer of 75% asking price because i honestly didn't think they would accept and hoped it would end the conversation as i was ready to move on. I got it for just a couple grand more
Indeed sometimes you've just got to offer what it's worth to you 👌
Doesn't sound like a great move. People typically search at the top end of their budget, they are likely therefore offering at the top end of their budget. Also, if someone has offered the asking price why would you not accept?
Speaking as someone currently looking, we have gone in low knowing we will be negotiated up towards the asking price. We know full well it'll get rejected and we can go upwards if we want to. People generally put their house on for more money than they think they'll get so if you go full asking price when you could have got it for less then you've been a bit hasty.
Very few people make their first offer, they're best offer. If the offer is at the asking price but there is a 5 link chain behind them, the seller may not want that and prefer a slightly lower offer with no chain
...unless the market is moving downwards otherwise you might end up in a worse position.
Not necessarily. The market is relative. If you're trying to upsized in a downward market, you're better off letting prices fall then buying
Dexter's do not mark the properties under offer as under offer at the moment. It's a marketing policy apparently. This makes identifying motivated sellers with them almost impossible as so many old listings are actually under offer.
That's a good point. It's quite misleading on their behalf though. Our view is if you have solicitors instructed and people are stating to incur costs, the property should be marked under offer
@@power_bespoke totally agree. I'm thinking of referring them to advertising standards authority
Nice video, but in the UK the look of the front house is SO important to buyers because the type of house we have is so closely part of our cultural identity and aspirations. We can also tell a lot about the house from the outside - 30s houses are spacious with large gardens. Victorian houses have smaller rooms and often downstairs bathrooms. New houses will be more energy efficient but have little character. The front of the house is vital and if I see an ad with say the kitchen as the cover image, I'm always suspicious!
Totally agree, that's why the front of the house should always be picture number 2 or 3 (or number 1 if it is the most appealing part of the house)
Hi! I am 7 weeks into a 16 week sole selling rights contract and have put in writing to the EA that I would like to take my house off the market as we no longer wish to sell the property. they have basically said we can’t take you off the market due to still being in your 16 week contract. Is this correct? The way I understood the contract, is that I cannot re market the property with someone else in that time? And if I do I will incur a fee which I understand, but I did point out that I do not want to remarket or even sell anymore. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
100% you can take it off the market with them. You are right in your thinking that the 16 weeks just means that if you are wanting to sell it, you can only sell it with them. It's your house so you can do what you want with it, they can't dictate to you. Grrrr estate agents
كويس أول متابع انا
WOW 🤩
can you update this for 2024?
Great idea. Will record soon :)
Spot on as usual Perry
Thanks Phillip 🙏
A house is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.
Thank is very true 👍
Be even less now Perry
Totally agree
irs not an old school crash but a stealth crash. 5% nominal falls inflation adjusted you are looking at 15-20% real falls since peak IMO. Good show bye the way.
Hi Perry, appreciate your video. If you agree that prices might go up by 20% in the next 5 years or so, whats your suggestion of where a buyer's 20% extra buying power will come from? Interest rates dropping back to 1-2%? Large wage growth? Government stimulus? I can't see any of these happening myself.
Out of all those, I think Government stimulus is most likely, they're already talking about stamp duty cuts in the next budget
@@power_bespoke Thanks for the reply. I'm one of those praying for no more government subsidy in the form of help to buy, stamp duty cuts etc...for the housing market. As you say it just inflates prices, beyond what a free market can sustain, and therefore makes life more expensive for everyone. I hope those in power realise that the money we all spend on our mortgages is money not going into the economy to generate growth.
@@picknmix39 Yea I totally agree, it just causes the cycle of boom to bust
Your statement that price movement doesn’t have an impact on EA profits is laughable! Do you take your viewers for fools? Everybody knows that a rising market stimulates sales volumes. A rising market: gives buyers the confidence that their asset will appreciate; creates a “buy now” mindset through fear of the market rises outstripping buyers’ financial resources. Apart from that, I heard a lot of good sense.
The average UK house price is 282k. The average uk estate agency fee is 1.1%. A 10% increase in house price in say 12 months would make the estate agency an extra £310, which would be eaten up by the increased business operating costs in that time too. The point is/was when people say us agents inflate prices for personal gain, they don't do the maths. A good agent should always try and extract the highest price possible from the market for their client as that's their job.
Will be interesting to hear your opinion about Labour coming to power soon. I think investors will dump a huge number of their properties on the market. It will just make zero economic sense to keep these properties with the possible rent controls, new taxation, etc
Hmmm I try not to predict what could happen with a change of government but what I am seeing is alot of landlords are already selling their properties. Partly due to the strains this government has put on them and partly due to the fact it will likley get alot worst for them with a labour government
I don’t get it…. There is no “Withdrawn from market” search option on Rightmove! So your saying these properties can only be found by paying a buying agent, is that correct?
I would like for you to sell my home in an auction

Any Estate Agent’s comments on house prices are completely worthless. All EA have a vested interest in a rising market. Please stop quoting Estate Agent comments.
Estate agents don't really have a vested interest in prices rising. It doesn't really matter to us whether prices go up or down, as long as people are moving. Any increase in house prices (and so our fee increasing) is generally eaten up by inflation and the cost of doing/running the business
Thank you for the advice. However is it a good time to sell a property right now in London?
That's a really hard question to answer. It depends on your plans once the property is sold, ie. will you buy on? Bigger or smaller? Will you rent? etc etc My blanket advice is always 'The best time, is when it's the right time for you'
hi do you pay for the reductions to show as i seem to have over used right move now they are asking for 2.99 per month ?
Yes I pay for the premium subscription 👍
Great hack Perry, this is news to me, a seasoned pro. Thanks
Every day's a school day for continuous learners like us Paul 👌
Hello Dear Are you looking for a professional KZread thumbnail designer. Let me know please Thanks.
❤❤❤
First
Sold mine for asking once dropped to sensible price. I think you are right. Q4 of 2023 was a total bugger though
Great to hear you sold. Pricing correctly and competively certainly is key
the fees are very high, he didn't mention that :(
Hi Belinda, fees are 2%+VAT, you can also opt to charge the buyer but when you do that, they just take the fee off the amount they are prepared to offer on the property
Lockdowns and all the free cash given out to people that didn’t need it was reckless and unnecessary. Now people are being forced into misery that is more damaging than COVID. The quality of people running the country is very poor, none of them would be able to run a real business.
It's a challenging situation for sure. We all hope for better days ahead.
English language
Sorry what do you mean?
You’re amazing. Love all the info in your videos so much. Thank you!
I'm so glad you find the information helpful! Thank you for your support!
At auction. Does that mean the house needs attention my house does thst mean y dont care a fair price
Not all houses at auction need attention. Some people place their property in auction just because they need speed and certainly
I'm shocked at how ignorant people are about the most important financial aspect of their lives - their mortgage - 2 years ago when things started going wrong I changed to a fixed rate deal for 5 years - everyone had the same opportunity your stat that 55% are already on these higher rates is hard to understand
It's surprising how many people overlook the importance of their mortgage rates. Knowledge is power when it comes to finances.
Sorry i think your wrong on this one. The problem with rates coming down and affordability going up is in reality there's an awful lot of unsold houses in a lot places. Lots of houses have gone on in the last year and a higher price than demand and have not shifted. People have been very very reluctant to reduce the prices. In most places it will take quite a long time for demand to eat up spare capacity and push the prices up. Also lots of reasons to believe that inflation will not actually fall much now and so we are stuck with higher interest rates until at least next year (next government') Without a significant crisis the bank is unlikely to shift to lower interest rates by much at all.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's always interesting to hear different viewpoints on these complex issues. Time will tell for sure and I think it's definitely very localised around the UK and different regions will have differing market activity
mortgage rates are based on swap rates not the BoE base rate. Swap rates are based on future😢 expectations of future BoE base rates which as can be seen from 10Yr gilt yield curve has been ticking up recently.Just to say that because BoE base rate goes down that mortgages will go down is wrong. No one knows where gilt curve is going, if I did I would be very very rich....
Thanks for sharing this insightful information about how mortgage rates are determined
Remember a Labour Government is probably on 8 months away. They will look to socialise wealth distribution by punishing asset holders (home owners). Might be a good idea to wait a year to see what happens at thier first budget IMO. I cant see prices going up in the meantime before the election as there wiĺ be a lot of uncertainty in the run up.
Very good points
I'm not sure its a binary choice between lower purchase price and higher rate or vice versa. There are many other factors which impact on house prices than interest rates, unemployment, elections, wage growth, economy (currently in recession), inflation and cost of living. It's all a personal choice in each case but if you're feeling financially insecure its not a good time to buy.
You're absolutely right! There are so many variables to consider when buying a house, and it's important to weigh all the factors before making a decision.
i would recommend avoiding leaseholds whenever possible. I'm having a nightmare with service charges and heat network. Run if it's managed by Rendall & Rittner
What if IR and mortgage rates don’t come down ! You have recency bias.
I guess no-one has a crystal ball but when it comes to property, you need to bet one way or another and it's more likley they will come down, than go up, in my view
its a buyers market with high asking prices
It certainly can be if the seller has a motivated reason for sale
what if rates go up in 2 years ?
I guess no-one has a crystal ball but when it comes to property, you need to bet one way or another and it's more likley they will come down, that go up, in my view
im an investor and wondered whether t9 buy now or wait
I hope the video helped 👍
lower price makes way more sense. remortgage later. great advice from you Perry
Thanks 🙏
