In this episode we explore two powerful ways to visualise UK property data.

First, we look at how different property types flow into freehold and leasehold ownership, and why tenure is so closely linked to the type of home being built and sold.

Then we zoom right down to street level and examine Manchester’s most valuable streets — ranked by the total value of property transactions, not simple averages.

Together, these examples show how property data tells a much clearer story when it’s visualised properly.

If you want to see the charts and visuals being discussed, make sure you check out the YouTube version of this episode — that’s where the data really comes to life.

In this episode, I walk through a really interesting way to visualise Birmingham house prices using 2024 data. Please watch YouTube video for graphs.

Instead of monthly averages, this view looks at prices day-by-day across the entire year,
showing how timing, seasonality, and transaction patterns shape the market.

We talk through:
• Why completions cluster on weekdays
• How prices change through the seasons
• Why some days spike due to high-value sales
• What this tells us about how the property market really behaves

It’s a simple but powerful way to understand property beyond headlines and averages.

In this episode, I share a fascinating way to visualise UK property data.

By using a seasonal heatmap of monthly price-paid data from 2021 to 2025, we reveal property patterns that most people never notice — including the months when prices spike, when activity drops off, and how these cycles affect buyers and landlords.

This type of data visualisation makes property trends much easier to understand and gives you a clearer view of how the market really moves.

Perfect for investors who want to see the story behind the numbers.

In this episode, I dive into the REAL numbers behind London’s property market from 2020 to 2025.

You’ve probably seen headlines saying “London has crashed” — but is that actually true? Using official UK House Price Index data, Rightmove sold prices, and regional comparison charts, we break down what’s really happening.

Has London genuinely fallen? Or is it just flat… or still up from pre-Covid levels?

This episode explains:
• London prices in 2020 vs 2022 vs 2025
• The drop from the 2022 peak
• Why London is underperforming other regions
• Property type breakdown
• How inflation changes the picture
• What all this means for landlords and investors

If you want to understand the London market without the hype, this is the episode to listen to.
