About this video
The UK housing market just flipped - what does the data really show.
House prices are dropping in the South, landlords are selling up, and a massive refinancing wave is coming - but what does it *actually* mean?
In this video, I walk through exactly what's happening in the UK property market right now, using real data and sources - not just headlines or opinion. Whether you're an investor, homeowner, or first-time buyer, this shift could affect you more than you realise.
๐ก I'm still investing - and I explain why, what I'm watching closely, and how I'm planning my next move.
If you found this useful, I've also made a video on how I'd start investing in property with just ยฃ50K https://youtu.be/YLPTK_NIMis
๐ฌ Let me know in the comments what you're seeing in your area - I try to reply to every one.
