In this video, we look at how to gauge if an agent is giving an honest property valuation (61 secs.)

The first question a seller always asks an estate agent is: “How much can you sell my property for?”. The second is: “What is your fee?” This is why it pays to read the small print when selling your home.

This focus on price and fees makes perfect sense; understandably every seller wants to get the best possible property deal.
But before they jump in and choose an agent based solely on these two things, sellers should ask more questions to determine if an agent is telling them the truth or a load of porkies.

The latest figures on the average rent paid by new tenants in February 2026 reveal a market that is no longer moving in one direction across the UK. Instead, regional differences are becoming clearer, with some areas still seeing modest growth while others, particularly in the South, are starting to soften.

With mortgage rates steadier and spring listings emerging, March 2026 offers buyers a balanced window before peak competition intensifies.

If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a market appraisal is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.

Rental demand remains resilient in early 2026, but growth has moderated. For landlords, spring is less about reacting and more about refining strategy.
