UK housing does not operate in isolation. Global economic forces increasingly ripple through domestic property markets.
Interest rate policy, currency movements, and global capital flows all influence:
- Mortgage pricing
- Investor appetite
- Construction costs
Geopolitical uncertainty and global monetary tightening have reinforced the appeal of income-generating, defensive assets; including residential property.
However, global shocks tend to magnify local weaknesses. Markets with poor fundamentals feel pressure first, while structurally undersupplied areas prove more resilient.
At DXXV, global conditions are used to stress-test assumptions, not to drive speculative timing. Robust portfolios are those that can withstand external shocks without structural failure.
