What do you expect from the property market in 2026?

Our Director and founder, Ed Mackenzie Smith, shares his thoughts on the year to come.

“I’m proud of being the founder of Mackenzie Smith and with my colleagues, taking the company forward into its 35th year of representing property owners in our area.

As with every year, predictions are based on opinion, and mine is no different. I expect an improving, but steady market. While values are unlikely to rise, transaction levels should increase. Demand for property will remain strong, with accurate pricing essential as buyers have more choice. The lettings market will stay busy, with expert advice needed to navigate new legislation.

Encouragingly, land deals are beginning to complete, supporting new housing supply. Overall, I’m confident about the market, without getting carried away.”
