Where it stands
Rightmove reported that more than 3,000 British properties a day had their asking prices cut on average in September 2026, the highest monthly number in 15 years. Sellers faced squeezed buyer mortgage budgets and competition, while buyers had more negotiating room; the figures do not establish that ownership became more affordable.
