    S4 Ep1: The Spring Property Market Outlook
    Jan 29 2026

Against this background, a mortgage price war is raging as lenders compete for business, so what are the best deals on offer? For the latest, property commentator Anne Ashworth talks to Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth, and Anthony Emmerson from mortgage brokers Trinity Financial.

    S3 Ep12: Blackheath and Barnes - the London Villages with real Christmas spirit
    Dec 9 2025
    There’s been increased interest in properties in what are fast becoming London’s super-suburbs – those desirable areas with strong village atmosphere, beautiful houses and good transport links. Barnes in south-west London and Blackheath in the south-east are prime examples which also display strong community sprit. This is particularly strong at this time of the year, as property commentator Anne Ashworth discovers from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, Mark Epps from Winkworth Blackheath and Greenwich, and Donovan Kelly from Winkworth Barnes.

    Oct 29 2025
    It’s still possible to buy a family house in several parts of London for under half a million pounds, according to new Winkworth research. In other parts of the country you can pick up something very substantial with this budget. Property commentator Anne Ashworth talks through some of the key findings with Winkworth’s Charles Erwin, while Jake Strubel of Winkworth Haringey and Nick Martiny Roberts of Winkworth Royal Leamington Spa talk about the contrasting types of properties available at the price in their areas.

  • S3 Ep9: The London lettings market and threatened tax changes

    S3 Ep9: The London lettings market and threatened tax changes
    Sep 23 2025
    What’s going on in the London lettings market? Rents have risen much more sharply than house prices over the past few years, and threatened tax increases could force more buy-to-let landlords to leave the market, leading to even tighter supply. We look at the impacts on exclusive Notting Hill, and its more affordable west London neighbour Shepherds Bush. Property commentator Anne Ashworth hears from Winkworth’s Charles Erwin, Lucinda Richardson from the Notting Hill office and Rupal Patel of Winkworth Shepherds Bush.

  • S3 Ep8: Hampstead, Belsize Park and the Green Space Premium

    S3 Ep8: Hampstead, Belsize Park and the Green Space Premium
    Aug 19 2025
    For many Londoners, being near a good park or heath is now seen as even more important than being close to the tube, which was once the top requirement in the capital. So does this mean that the ‘green space premium’ – the extra price you have to pay for a property overlooking, or at least very close to, the park - is even bigger than it used to be? Property commentator Anne Ashworth finds out more from Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth, while Neil Sloam, owner of Winkworth's new Belsize Park office, talks about the attractions for homebuyers of being close to the wide open spaces of Hampstead Heath and Regents Park.

    S3 Ep7: Westminster, Pimlico and what’s really going on in Prime Central London
    Jul 30 2025
    As some of the super-wealthy non-doms leave London for tax reasons, who’s moving in to take their place? We look at new Winkworth research which lifts the lid on who’s now sniffing a bargain after years of static or declining prices in the capital’s top neighbourhoods, with a particular focus on Pimlico and Westminster. Property commentator Anne Ashworth is joined by Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace and Rob Oatley who runs the Pimlico and Westminster office.

    S3 Ep6: How VAT on school fees is hitting the property market - the example of Reading
    Jun 23 2025
    The imposition of Value Added Tax on private school fees at the beginning of this year is having a noticeable impact on the property market, in both expected and unexpected ways. Some parents are spending less on housing to be able to afford the fees, while others are trying to move near the best state primary and secondary schools. Joining property commentator Anne Ashworth to look in more detail at the trends, through their effect on the town of Reading in Berkshire and more broadly, are Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace, Good Schools Guide managing editor Melanie Sanderson, and Michael Foldvari of Winkworth Reading.
