The new build market is starting to split across the UK 👀🏗️ New data from Propertymark shows new build prices are now falling in several regions 👉🏼 including Wales, the North West, the South East and Yorkshire. At the same time, areas like London, the North East and the West Midlands are still seeing price growth. To me, this highlights something important for investors and developers 👇🏼 The market is becoming far more 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹. You can’t just look at “the UK property market” as one single picture anymore. Local demand, affordability, infrastructure and even remote working trends are all influencing where buyers actually want to live. And for developers, I think this means scheme selection and exit strategy matter more than ever. Some areas are still absorbing stock well… while others may become much more price-sensitive over the next 12-18 months. Of course the bigger issue is that the cost of materials and labour is high relative to property prices so basically it’s pretty touch to build it for less that you can buy it for on the resale market. Personally I think the investors and developers who really understand their local market will outperform in this next phase of the cycle. The days of relying on broad market growth alone feel like they’re fading a bit. Stay informed, stay adaptable and keep paying attention to what’s happening in your local market. #PropertyInvesting #PropertyInvestor #MortgageBroker #MortgageAdvisor #MortgageAdvice #PropertyDeveloper #PropertyDevelopers #PropertyDevelopment
