September typically marks a busy period in the market, and the early indicators look promising. Mortgage rates are dropping, swap rates are shifting, and there's a clear signal that the property market slump might be nearing its end. Analysts are speculating about potential adjustments in the upcoming budget, while interest rates remain steady—but likely not for long. Welcome back to Super-Prime UK updates with Rob Cohen and James Wild.
This week's update is brief as James is away. It's been a week since the election, and our new government has been settling in. The property market is operating fairly smoothly. Plans are in place to build 1.5 million houses over the next five years, will this target be hit? Interest rates are expected to decrease towards the end of summer, delivering a positive end to the quarter. In the super-prime market, the non-domicile sector is an issue and is a topic currently under discussion among lenders and banks.
With the upcoming election on the horizon, we explore the key issues and discussions surrounding the general election, and its potential impact on the economy and the property market.
Over the past 12 months, the market has experienced limited activity, yet prices have remained stable. The super-prime segment is exhibiting stronger performance compared to prime and sub-prime sectors, particularly in popular London locales where properties are selling well. The investment market is surpassing other asset classes, offering high yields and rewards for investors. In some areas, the shortage of supply is still underpinning demand. The market is in an intriguing position, though still restrained. Welcome back to Super-prime with Rob Cohen and James Wild.
We are privileged to have Michael Dean from Avamore Capital in the office for a highly insightful industry and of course football discussion. We talk about Avamore's origin story, their commitment to ground up development, coining the phrase 'finish & exit' to heavy refurbishment. Why 2024 is a great time to be starting a development and what the future of Avamore looks like. Make sure you check out his podcast The Property Funder.
Hello and welcome to the first super-prime UK show of 2024! It's shaping up to be a very interesting year for the lending sectors with an attractive mortgage market emerging, competitive rates, and sales numbers looking already very promising. This week, we are joined by Victor Jannels CEO of The Association of Short-Term Lenders, who gives valuable insight into the markets over the last year and foresight into the fast-paced future. With a possible high number of interest rate reductions over the next year, it's going to be a very exciting 2024.
Greetings and thank you for joining us for the European Valuers Alliance quarterly market update! Every quarter, we embark on a journey to explore diverse European regions, collaborating with top property experts to present you with the most recent data and market insights.
In this quarter’s edition, we are delighted to introduce Aleksander Karkut from ACONS in Poland, who will be joining us to share valuable expertise and insights from his home town in Warsaw.
The clocks change as we dive straight into the UK winter. On the ground, the market is busy and ticking over. There is a lot of valuation work out there which is a positive, and market specialisms continue to prevail. We believe the market will sit where it is until conditions improve in the new year. We also discuss the flexible off-market space and the Re-work bankruptcy. What is the future of co-working?
The end of September showed us an uptick in weekly instructions with a scorching 551, which is 50% higher than the average weekly figure in 2023. In terms of stock coming on stream, this is an excellent indicator of the positive direction the market is going in.
Enjoy the warm weekend!
The valuation and property industry has come under tremendous pressure over the last 12 months. It’s been such a challenging time for the industry’s workforce, and as we all know, it has resulted in job losses. It’s also tough to decipher which way the market is going, and this is apparent if you read any current articles about the differing opinions on the property industry or inflation. It is trendy to buy at this time of year so it will be an interesting September. Will we avoid the technical recession at the tail end of 2023? We discuss this and much more!
Hello and welcome to the European Valuers Alliance quarterly market update!
Each quarter we travel to a different region of Europe to dive into the market with leading property professionals, giving you the latest data and intel. This quarter we are joined by Cem Kurt from Denge Degerleme in Turkey.

It's an intelligent and resilient business that performs well in low-transacting markets, and we have seen over and over again the fantastic people in this industry who have kept their heads above water. You should all be proud of yourselves.
This week's show discusses the Bank of England hammering home a mechanism to try and control this inflation, with the base rate increasing by another 0.25%, which James and Rob share different sentiments about.
The markets are looking more upbeat, with analysts suggesting the rates max out at 5.5 - 5.75%. The "W-shaped" model of economic activity could predict a 6–9-month period before a breath of fresh air. Nationwide has released their HPI data showing that the property market has contracted slightly month on month for July 2023 by 0.2%, which has edged the annual house price growth to 3.8%. Will Rishi Sunac hit his target of halfling inflation by the end of the year?
We have said it repeatedly, uncertainty is the new certainty, and the UK economy definitely reflects this. The super-prime space continues to do well and trades at similar levels as 2021-2022, with 60-70% of transactions being off-market cash deals. However, the mortgage and interest rate figures are just above the Liz Truss crisis, and we are looking at two further rate rises. The following 6-9 months are critical for the lending market.
We cannot dress this up; the remainder of 2023 will be challenging for the UK property market.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Super-prime UK with Rob Cohen and James Wild from valuation specialists MJ Group International. This week we discuss record-low mortgage lending, weekly sales data, the future of inflation, and course the, football.
It's great to be back after the king's coronation! We are going through a transitional period in the market, with key economic indicators moving. There is a solid foundation for deals and transactions, but because of the long weekends, it has slowed a little. Conflicting data is circulating and whispers about a strong June and July. Is this possibly the end of the inflation hikes?
Norway and Sweden are in the hot seat this quarter, represented by Helena Edberg from Fforum and Johan Berg-Svendsen from Veridian. In this episode, we dive into the general mood and sentiment of the Swedish and Norwegian property markets. Tune in for the latest data and intel to keep up with the ever-changing industry!

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the super-prime UK podcast. We are back from MIPIM, and what a great time we have had—a big thank you to our clients, lenders and banks who invited us to extraordinary events. Activity levels from agents, surveyors and transactions have started ramping up, which shows in the sales data. Bank Of England raises base rate for the 11th consecutive time. Zoopla's rental market data lacks stock, whilst February’s lending statistics were the lowest since 2016.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the sentiment in the prime and super-prime sectors remains positive. Rob has been lecturing at Oxford, and we are preparing for MIPIM on the 14th and 17th of March in Paris; see you there!
The UK avoids a technical recession whilst inflation falls. Mortgage rates calm for five-year fixed products as the economy stabilises.
Mortgage Rates stabilise, but the market remains subdued. However, the feel of the market is changing, and we are witnessing the chains of the last two years slackening. - Super-Prime Deals Are Still Trading!
Happy new year 2023, and welcome back to the super-prime UK podcast! Very excited to be back and sharing with you the latest data and intel from the heart of the property and lending market. We are still facing challenges, but it looks like the light is appearing at the end of the tunnel!
Hello and a very Merry Christmas from Super-Prime UK and MJ Group International. We are still ecstatic from the football final, but a little sore after England got knocked out. We have been away for a few weeks as Rob has been travelling around Europe visiting clients. We deliver the latest news and data from the heart of the property industry and say a massive thank you to the thousands of you who have watched this show over the last year. We look to 2023 with optimism for positive change.
Rob has been away seeing clients in Europe, so we are back after a week off. Super-prime and Prime is still reasonably robust, with the rest of the market cooling dramatically. This week we break down the weekly London sales data, mortgage approvals and rate changes, general market news and sentiment, and give our opinions on the future of the London property market.
Jeremy Hunt announces the new financial update to rebuild the UK economy, to which the market reacts surprisingly calmly. Stay tuned, though; it’s going to be a rocky winter…
The market is split into Prime and Super-Prime vs the rest of the market as sales rise and fall in different sectors. Interest rates rise to 3%, Halifax releases house price data, and Persimmon cuts dividends as housing sales tumble. Listen in for the latest data and intel from the heart of the valuation industry.
Liz Truss is out, Rishi Sunak is in, the autumn budget is delayed, and Lloyds forecasts an 8% property price drop. What's going on in the property market? It's full steam ahead...
Germany is in the hot seat this quarter, represented by Martinus Kurth of Kenstone. In this episode, we dive into the general mood and sentiment of the German markets, which much like the rest of Europe is going through uncertainty and volatility.

With fears of a recession looming and many challenges affecting the market in all areas, we are in for another week of volatility and uncertainty. Sit back and tune in as James Wild and Rob Cohen from MJ Group International bring you all the latest data and intel from the heart of the banking, lending and valuation industry.
The new government budget drives unprecedented volatility, and the bank of England's intervention has left the market anxious. Rob's been lecturing at Westminster university, and James is celebrating his birthday. We give you all the latest industry data and info from the ground as it unfolds.
Mortgage Products were removed at the fastest ever rate, the pound hit a record low, and interest rates are up 15%. Uncertainty is a new certainty. Volatility is at an all-time high, and the Market is moving very quickly. Get ahead of the curve with all the latest data and intel.
The big one! In this episode, we summarise key points from Chancellor Kwasi Kwartengs address to parliament. The Government has announced the plan for an economic growth target of 2.5%.
Whilst Royal Mourners flock to London. The economy grew 0.2% in July. The passing of the Queen has rocked the world. In this episode of Super-Prime Uk News, we deliver the latest news and data but also remember our beloved Queen, who was a massive supporter of the Royal Institution Of Chartered Surveyors.
With rising inflation, further interest rate rises and a new Prime Minister, how will the Property Market react? The cost of 2yr / 5yr fixed mortgages is sharply rising, and September will be an accurate marker for where the market is sitting. Zoopla releases house price data, and we deliver the weekly sales numbers.
The volatility and uncertainty that we see on a weekly basis are unprecedented. The Property and Construction industry has such a significant impact on the UK's GDP and is going to be a crucial indicator in the coming quarters. Things are moving so fast on macro and micro levels, and it's going to be a bumpy 2022. However, we will be here to walk you through it from a Property and Lending perspective each and every week, helping you make the best decisions.
Despite a traditionally quiet period, the current market is robust. The numbers back this, and the industry is going from strength to strength. Week in, week out, there is a changing market. We are here every week to deliver to you the latest data and intel from the heart of it.

Another great week in the Property world! Rob has been lecturing at oxford and valuations have been flooding in. There is still a lack of stock, but this will last until the industry comes together to sort the issue. First time buyers doubled last year which is amazing, however, the average new build house price is down £12,000, with the buyers average age now being 32. We discuss future interest rate hikes and what new modelling would be needed for affordable products as well as the new Residential Property Development Tax.
This week we chat about the recent property boom which was fuelled by low-interest rates, the race for space, the stamp duty-cut and government incentives, but what Is the next step? Nationwide releases its data on the average house price index, the average cost of a house is now £260,000. This now means the average home is 20% more expensive than it was in February 2020. The house price to earnings ratio is current at 6.6 which is the highest yet. There have been 334 new instructions this week, sales are up at 146. On a macro level, the UK property market continues to have double-digit growth.
Welcome back to another week of super-prime UK. A high-street packed show this week. New instructions are up from last week at 295, Sales at 132 and Under Offers have come in at 211. The market remains steady, and the growth is slow but positive.

The market is remaining resilient. We have 262 new instructions this week. 140 sales and 248 properties are under offer. One of the highest ratios we have seen recently. There are lots of bids on properties and people are out and about going to agencies. However, we still have issues with the lack of stock.

It's been the strongest start to the year for house prices since 2005, according to Nationwide. Who revealed that there was an 11.2% annual increase in January 2022. The concerns with the market falling off a cliff after the Stamp-Duty window closure didn't happen and it remains robust. However, the lack of supply and stock is still an issue, with the Sales and Lettings market, and it's creating pricing pressures. On a macro bias, the market has been performing exceptionally well, with double-digit growth reports, and there are multiple bids on Goldust properties. Listen in below as James Wild, and I deliver the latest data and intel from the heart of the property industry...

Good morning! What an amazing bank holiday weekend. From festivals to charity events, it has been a fantastic three days of smiles and music. Today the latest episode of the Valuation Podcast has landed, and it is the most important one yet! In this episode, I will be discussing Culture and Diversity within the property industry. Historically the industry has been white, male-dominated and that’s just a statement of fact, that’s the history of the industry. That is now beginning to change. However, it’s not a change that will happen overnight. It is more relevant than ever, at this moment in time, that the culture of the industry changes for the good, for the greater good of not just the industry, but for society. Every individual has a responsibility to do this, through love for each other, education and awareness. Striving for diversity and equality within not just the property industry but in any industry, is not just a necessity, but the only way forward in 2021. We must all strive for a positive change, together as one. To find out more please give the podcast a listen and please subscribe for all future episodes. Any questions you may have on the industry please fire away and I will answer. @askrobco #askrobco

In this episode, we will talk about the super-prime residential property valuation market. We will describe what kind of properties belong to this homogeneous market and why. We will also analyse why in 2020, and continuing in 2021, London is the number one transaction volume-based super prime market.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
What kind of properties are considered super prime
-
Why London has retained the title as the favourite city for super-prime market transactions in the last year and a half
-
Why it is so hard to get information about the transactions in the super-prime market
Super prime properties might be located on the main road; perhaps millions were invested in them, or they have an incomparable view of a lake, mountain, or sea. It can also be because of their premium facilities, like a pool, a spa, security facilities, or a helipad. They are unique in many senses, and that is why their price is so high.

Today, we will talk about the future of property professionals, and the benefits of specialist knowledge in the property market. We will go through the advantages of specialism and what are the best niches to focus on.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
What we can do today to succeed in the industry in 2, 5, or 10 years
-
How I discovered the importance of specialism in my career, and how becoming a specialist helped me
-
Why we should focus on the edges of the market
Whether it is property valuation, banking, lending, sales, or agency property, we must go super narrow and super deep in our specialization. We must aim for homogeneous, non-generic parts of the market and then learn, grow, and develop.

In this episode, we will discuss why property markets are volatile, and what patterns we should look for in order to understand those markets better. We will go through what I've learned about the market's behaviour in history, and how patterns repeat themselves.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Why paying attention to old trends can help us understand the present trends
-
Why the current market is hot, and pricing is going upwards
-
The influence of affordability, interest rate, and inflation on market's volatility
Last year at the beginning of the pandemic, every specialist predicted that the property market would fall catastrophically, but it didn't happen. The interesting part is to know if we are simply delaying an inevitable fall, or we are experiencing a rebound and the beginning of a journey of growth and prosperity.

In today's episode, we will talk about what makes a Property Valuation Expert. We will go through what it takes to become an expert, where someone should start, what certifications to get, and approximately how long it would take.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
What are the burning questions we should ask ourselves that will help us start our journey
-
What are three steps to becoming a Valuation Property Expert
-
What it means to acquire specific market knowledge
-
How many years we should dedicate to specialism and expertise
Despite becoming a Property Valuation Expert is an excellent destination, it is a journey that requires lots of effort, reps, and thousands of hours of experience. The path to follow is clear; it is up to us to decide to put in the reps, build up the muscle and the knowledge.

In this episode, we will discuss why the industry demands live updates on property intel and property data more than ever. I will share what I've learned in the last few years, especially during COVID, and what we can expect from the real estate market in the following years.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Why is it common to hear about FinTech, PropTech, Intel, and Data in the real estate industry
-
How often are changing product and pricing key indicators
-
What will happen to the demand for live updates of property intel and data in the following years
The markets are moving faster than ever, and people are not waiting for quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly updates to make decisions about their portfolios. The market's speed demands to be constantly informed and ready to make decisions daily.

Today, we will discuss why banks and lending institutions need to work closely with expert registered property valuers more than ever in a world affected by COVID. We will analyse the current situation from a sales and risk perspective, and from a transparency and data perspective.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Why lendings tend to grow in uncertain and volatile markets
-
The risks of HMO (Housing in Multiple Occupation) products, and why the communication between valuers, lenders and the bank becomes imperative
-
The unique perspective that expert registered property valuers can share with banks and lending institutions
In volatile, uncertain markets like we're in today, understanding where a specific product sits within the market is crucial. In 2021, knowing how long it will take us to liquidise or rent an asset, whether only a distressed purchaser can buy it, or even if the property is mortgageable becomes more critical than ever.

Today, I would like to bring back an old discussion from my times as a student, on how art and science disciplines apply to property valuation. We will analyse the parts of the industry that relate to each discipline, and how they interact.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
What is considered art in property valuation, and what part is considered science
-
Why the uniqueness of some properties can only be understood from an art standpoint
-
The role of science in setting a value for a certain property
Every piece of art is unique, and its artistic value will change depending on who is asked about it. Science is the complete opposite, where everything is measurable and comparable. But in property valuation, art and science are complementary, and they work together.

If you are interested in property, lending, sales, credit, risk, if you work for a lending institution or a fund, if you are a broker, an intermediary, if you work in conveyancing or legal, or you are an investor, this podcast is for you.
My name is Rob Cohen, and my mission is to share more than 100,000 hours I gained in almost 30 years of experience in the industry.
I'll share a series of short and sharp episodes on property valuation with you. I'll provide you with market trends, data, and intel to leverage your daily work, role, manage risk, or simply get a better understanding of the industry. High profile guests from global institutions within the industry will help me on this task.
My journey in the property market started at the age of 16, when I got an opportunity for a summer internship in Wembley and Harrow in Northwest London. Five years later, I got a Building Surveying Degree at Westminster University. After sending countless emails and banging all the doors, I got a position at CBRE, one of the largest real estate companies in the world, where I had a fantastic journey of tremendous learning. I went on to become a Chartered Valuation Surveyor, and after I left CBRE, I joined MJ Group International, where we developed into one of the Leading Independent Valuation advisory companies across Europe.
I'm super excited to share my wisdom and help you enhance your experience in the real estate industry.
