Podcast Overview

The UK housing market generates more headlines than almost any other part of the economy - but often with very little clarity. Housing Unpacked cuts through the blizzard of noise and speculation to focus on what really matters: the structural forces shaping the market, the political choices behind them, the broader mood in financial markets and what that tells us about where the market is heading. Tom Bill, Head of UK Residential Research at Knight Frank, brings together data, policy and lived market experience to tell us what’s really going on and what happens next.

Coutts Head of Lending: Volatility Is the New Normal

In this episode of Housing Unpacked, Tom Bill is joined by Alex Webster, Head of Lending at Coutts, for a discussion about wealth, lending and property at a time when political uncertainty and market volatility have become part of everyday life. With speculation mounting over tax policy, interest rates and the economic outlook, Alex explains why many wealthy buyers are continuing to transact and why, in her view, volatility has become the "new normal". The conversation explores how ultra-high-net-worth individuals think about property, debt and wealth creation, and why some of the assumptions people make about the prime market are often wrong. <a href="https://preferences.knightfrank.com/subscribe-to-uk-residential-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠Subscribe</a>⁠⁠ to Tom Bill's UK Residential Outlook, for all the latest properties, exclusive market analysis, news and data.

Burnham Takes Charge: Property Tax and Fiscal Reality

What would a Burnham premiership mean in practice? Tom is joined by former Treasury special adviser James Nation to explore which policies will remain longer-term ambitions, and what is realistically deliverable in the near term. Will a coronation create legitimacy concerns? Is an emergency Budget needed? And with fiscal wriggle room tight, who becomes Chancellor and how difficult is the job they inherit? For the property market, there is a lot on the line. There is renewed speculation around CGT alignment with income tax, a familiar debate over the merits of a land value tax, and early signals on greater devolution of fiscal powers. But each comes with big questions around how much revenue they raise, how quickly they can be delivered, and whether they survive contact with Treasury scrutiny. Either way, Burnham will now be judged on what he does rather than what he says.

The Rise of the Domestic Buyer: Prime Central London Comes Full Circle

After decades being shaped by global investors and rapid price growth, today’s market is more price-sensitive and domestically-driven. In this episode of Housing Unpacked, Tom Bill speaks with Anthony Payne, CEO and co-founder of LonRes, to examine what’s happening at the top end of London’s residential market. They discuss what LonRes data reveals about prices and transaction volumes across different markets and price points in the capital, the extent to which super-prime deals are still taking place and the rising number of fall-throughs. The conversation also explores whether the market is nearing a turning point or settling into a prolonged period of more muted growth and the one thing Anthony believes is needed to boost demand – and it’s not a stamp duty cut. <a href="https://preferences.knightfrank.com/subscribe-to-uk-residential-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠Subscribe</a>⁠⁠ to Tom Bill's UK Residential Outlook, for all the latest properties, exclusive market analysis, news and data.
