In the latest commercial survey, prime industrial values were expected to rise by 2 percent over the coming year and prime office values by 1.9 percent. Secondary office and retail values, by contrast, were still expected to fall. London was also reported to be holding up better than many other areas in office and retail. That does not mean smaller investors should only look at prime assets. It...]]></description><link>https://www.calibreacquire.co.uk/post/which-property-types-are-holding-up-better-in-the-current-market</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c15fc169ed8cb882aac561</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:45:07 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cab54c_21587839382345c88b382f04bd0aabc8~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jake3629</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mortgage Rates in 2026 and How They Change Decision Making]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mortgage rates are still shaping the market, but the effect is now more about behaviour than shock. The Bank of England kept Bank Rate at 3.75 percent in March 2026. The wider lending view for the year suggests steady activity rather than a major bounce, with gross mortgage lending forecast at £300 billion. That matters because rates affect more than monthly payments. They shape what a buyer feels safe paying, how much margin an inv estor wants in the numbers, and whether an owner feels...]]></description><link>https://www.calibreacquire.co.uk/post/mortgage-rates-in-2026-and-how-they-change-decision-making</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c15e548f0e652aaa2bc9e2</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 16:42:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cab54c_3f73d1c447a9400cb5ec0bfee7326e1a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jake3629</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Buyers Are Paying Attention to Right Now]]></title><description><![CDATA[The gap between a property that attracts serious interest and one that sits on the market is wider than it was when debt was cheaper. Buyers are still looking, but they are focusing on fewer points and looking at them harder. The first is finance. The second is income. The third is whether there is a clear route to improve the asset. Mortgage lending is forecast to rise by 4 percent to £300 billion in 2026, which shows the market is still functioning. At the same time, around 1.8 million...]]></description><link>https://www.calibreacquire.co.uk/post/what-buyers-are-paying-attention-to-right-now</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c15cdb8f0e652aaa2bc616</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:31:48 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cab54c_8b9041cbbdb14419a79ee3951c7c70b3~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jake3629</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the 2026 Property Market Is Really Telling Buyers and Sellers]]></title><description><![CDATA[The UK market is still active, but the pace has changed. Residential transactions in January 2026 were 94,680 on a seasonally adjusted basis, down 5 percent from December. That does not point to a frozen market. It points to a market where buyers are taking longer to decide and where pricing is being checked more closely. Borrowing costs are part of that story. The Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75 percent in March 2026, while the lending outlook for the year points to modest growth in...]]></description><link>https://www.calibreacquire.co.uk/post/what-the-2026-property-market-is-really-telling-buyers-and-sellers</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c15832d25f3712fa74a89c</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2026 15:25:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cab54c_bb703e4754a641fc81d72eaba54c6171~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>jake3629</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
