UK Economy and Property Market Update

Highlights from the latest update include:

The UK economy ended last year on a flat note and there is little reason to anticipate much of an acceleration through 2026. A more favourable inflation environment will, however, enable the Bank of England to continue lowering interest rates. There are some signs that this may be feeding through into slightly more positive sentiment in the real estate sector but for now, the construction industry continues to struggle against a backdrop of ongoing financial challenges and hurdles related to planning and regulation.
