An informed view of the property auction market as we head into 2026

2025 was a year that ended with one of the biggest residential auctions of all time, raising £77M and a long awaited cut to interest rates – this is typically the catalyst that the commercial market needs to drive demand. As we review last year we also make our informed predictions of what 2026 holds.Both Auctioneers discuss the different forces driving the buyers and sellers, with a significant increase in Housing Associations and REITS selling last year, which is likely to continue and some new overseas buyers buying in to commercial assets for the first time. Is that a turning point in the market? There is a lot to cover.“So much is moving in the wider Residential market”, says Seb Verity who reflects on his normal wide range of topics from the impact of rising obsolescence in all its forms, to what is holding back the Government’s new build targets.The entire panel conclude the episode with their thoughts on how they would invest £5m in their markets and why.

Myth Busting The Impact of AI on Real Estate Valuations

This episode of the Allsop Propchat explores how AI has already influenced the production of some of the most comprehensive and accurate valuation reports in the market. While the technology brings clear efficiencies, there are still limitations within current systems that demand the same level of diligence from valuation professionals as ever. Handled in the right way, however, the general view is that the time saved can allow for deeper thinking and ultimately lead to a better product for our clients — who then often use their own systems to summarise our reports.We also discuss the RICS guidance note, which is in the process of being finalised ahead of its formal adoption in Autumn 2025. Follow Allsop and our speakers George Walker, Seb Verity, Evie Robertson, and Freya Morrow on social media.George WalkerLinkedIn/George WalkerSeb VerityLinkedIn/Seb VerityEvie RobertsonLinkedIn/Evie RobertsonFreya MorrowLinkedIn/Freya MorrowAllsopLinkedInXFacebookYouTubeInstagram Don't forget, if you’ve enjoyed listening, please rate us and consider writing a review.If you have a question relating to one of our podcasts or have any suggestions of themes you would like us to cover, please email podcasts@allsop.co.uk The podcast presented here is for general guidance and represents opinions of our teams based on the property market at the time of recording.All details are correct at time of recording
