September typically marks a busy period in the market, and the early indicators look promising. Mortgage rates are dropping, swap rates are shifting, and there's a clear signal that the property market slump might be nearing its end. Analysts are speculating about potential adjustments in the upcoming budget, while interest rates remain steady—but likely not for long. Welcome back to Super-Prime UK updates with Rob Cohen and James Wild.

This week's update is brief as James is away. It's been a week since the election, and our new government has been settling in. The property market is operating fairly smoothly. Plans are in place to build 1.5 million houses over the next five years, will this target be hit? Interest rates are expected to decrease towards the end of summer, delivering a positive end to the quarter. In the super-prime market, the non-domicile sector is an issue and is a topic currently under discussion among lenders and banks.

With the upcoming election on the horizon, we explore the key issues and discussions surrounding the general election, and its potential impact on the economy and the property market.

Over the past 12 months, the market has experienced limited activity, yet prices have remained stable. The super-prime segment is exhibiting stronger performance compared to prime and sub-prime sectors, particularly in popular London locales where properties are selling well. The investment market is surpassing other asset classes, offering high yields and rewards for investors. In some areas, the shortage of supply is still underpinning demand. The market is in an intriguing position, though still restrained. Welcome back to Super-prime with Rob Cohen and James Wild.

The clocks change as we dive straight into the UK winter. On the ground, the market is busy and ticking over. There is a lot of valuation work out there which is a positive, and market specialisms continue to prevail. We believe the market will sit where it is until conditions improve in the new year.

The valuation and property industry has come under tremendous pressure over the last 12 months. It’s been such a challenging time for the industry’s workforce, and as we all know, it has resulted in job losses. It’s also tough to decipher which way the market is going, and this is apparent if you read any current articles about the differing opinions on the property industry or inflation. It is trendy to buy at this time of year so it will be an interesting September. Will we avoid the technical recession at the tail end of 2023? We discuss this and much more!
