Listen "UK Housing Deep Dive: The 30-Year Mortgage Trap & Construction Collapse"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Description: Are we witnessing the hardening of structural fault lines in the UK housing market? In this episode, we break down the newly released English Housing Survey (EHS 2024-25) and critical November economic indicators. From the "temporal stretching" of mortgages to a construction sector "deep in the red," we reveal why the UK property landscape is becoming a high-risk, high-reward environment for investors—and a financial squeeze for everyone else. In this episode, we cover: The 30-Year Norm: Why 62% of First-Time Buyers are now locking into 30+ year terms just to enter the market. Generational Divide: How the elderly now "Own England" (62% of outright owners are 65+), while working-age tenants remain captive. The Pricing Disconnect: Analyzing the massive 29.3% gap between seller expectations and actual sale prices. Construction in Crisis: The steepest downturn in 5.5 years (PMI 39.4) and what it means for housing supply. The Human Cost: Rising "structural unhappiness" and the fragility of the tenant base. Global Shocks: Trumponomics, tariffs, and the US/UK Economic Prosperity Deal. Links & Resources: 🎟️ Join the Workshop: tinyurl.com/pbwnine #Propenomix #AdamLawrence #Property #Economics #UKHousing
