Welcome to the All Things Property Podcast, your go-to source for honest and practical guidance in the world of property.

In this episode, Simon Bacon and Ian Sadler tackle the current state of the housing market, with a particular focus on property sales and the challenges faced by both sellers and buyers. Drawing on their hands-on experience, they break down the realities behind pricing strategies, agent practices and the impact of political decision-making on housing.

You’ll hear straight talk about market stagnation, overvalued listings, the frustrations of a slow sales process and the ongoing need for joined-up government policy.

Whether you’re an investor, a landlord or someone looking to buy or sell your home, this episode delivers no-nonsense advice and crystal-ball predictions for where the market may be headed in the next 12 months.

If you’re ready for genuine insight, without the corporate jargon, you’re in the right place.
