Is the UK Housing Market About to Crash? Honest Answers Buyers & Sellers Need

The UK housing market is constantly in the headlines, with warnings of crashes, falling prices, and uncertainty everywhere you look. But what’s actually happening on the ground — and how should buyers and sellers respond? In this in-depth discussion, experienced estate agents answer the most common questions UK homeowners and buyers are asking right now. From properties sitting on Rightmove for months, to wildly different valuations from agents, to whether it’s smarter to buy now or wait — this conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on real market behaviour, not headlines. If you’re wondering whether now is a bad time to move, this episode explains why market timing is often misunderstood. The reality is that house prices don’t move in straight lines, and trying to “wait for the perfect moment” can backfire. The discussion breaks down how affordability, lifestyle needs, and supply-and-demand matter far more than predictions. You’ll also hear why homes that sit unsold for weeks aren’t necessarily “bad properties” — and how pricing strategy plays a bigger role than most people realise. Buyers often assume something must be wrong, but in many cases, it’s simply a reflection of market positioning and competition. The episode also tackles one of the biggest frustrations for sellers: Why do three estate agents give three completely different valuations? You’ll learn why no agent can guarantee a price, why overpricing is one of the biggest risks, and how data — not emotion — should guide decisions. For buyers, this conversation explains why waiting for prices to drop can be a gamble, how mortgage affordability really works, and why speaking to more than one adviser matters. It also covers the misconception that winter or quieter months are bad times to move, when in reality, they often attract more serious buyers. There’s practical advice throughout on: When it actually makes sense to buy or sell How long a property being listed really matters Why price reductions hurt more than people realise How presentation impacts perceived value What buyers look for when comparing similar homes Why negotiation matters more than headline price How to avoid costly mistakes during the selling process This episode is especially useful if you’re: Thinking of selling your home Unsure whether to buy now or wait Confused by market headlines Comparing estate agent valuations Worried about affordability or mortgage rates Trying to understand what homes are really worth Rather than predictions, this discussion focuses on how people behave in real markets, why emotion often leads to bad decisions, and how clarity can save you time, money, and stress.
