Block RE's latest residential rent forecasts (at city level) covered in today's Estates Gazette by Akanksha Soni. Spoiler alert - After a cooling in early 2026, we expect supply-side constraints to result in rents peaking in 2028 before falling back to slightly above long-run averages at the end of our 7-year forecast period. #BTR, #PRS, #UKHousing, #Rents, #Forecasts https://lnkd.in/eBuvn4JN

A great trip to Lisbon for the Class Foundation student conference, the teams first together. A reminder if we ever needed it that real estate is a) a people business at heart and b) a deep analysis of the data and understanding the trends and is paramount when occupational markets become challenging, there are lots of misleading headlines out there...!
