Before you do anything with UK

property in 2026

watch this.

Operating on 2015 rules in today’s UK property market is like stepping into a boxing ring blindfolded. Section 24. Stamp duty reform. The Renters’ Rights Act. A fundamentally different rate environment. The hits are landing from every direction — and most owners don’t yet see where they’re coming from. This free 2-minute video shows you.

Watch the 2-minute property briefing.

Our community

100s of clients. One regular conversation.

We’ve spent 17 years working with UK property clients — through tax changes, legislation overhauls, and three different interest-rate environments. Today, the conversation continues in our London Bridge office, at regular in-person events, and through the monthly market update. Free to attend. No pitches. The room is the value.

 

If you’d like to join the community, the simplest first step is the 2-minute briefing above — when
you sign up, you’ll get invited to upcoming events as part of the monthly market update. 
Attendance is always free. No pitches. No pressure. If you find them useful, come back. If not,
you’ve spent an evening understanding the market better.

What the data actually says

This isn't a slow drift. It's a structural shift.

Four numbers, all from publicly available government and industry sources. They tell
you why the question “what’s actually changed?” is the right one to ask before any other.

What's in the video

Four topics. Plain English. Two

minutes.

The video is a quick orientation. Below each topic in the video, we link to the official source — HMRC guidance, the Act text, government stamp duty pages — so you can verify everything for yourself. No recommendations. No spin. Just what the rules actually say.

Section 24 explained

The full mechanics, a worked example with realistic numbers, the situations where it bites hardest, and a link to HMRC guidance.

Stamp duty in 2026

Current rates, surcharges, thresholds. How the recent reforms affect first-time buyers, main residences, and additional dwellings.

Renters' Rights Act

What's changed, what hasn't, the new periodic tenancy regime, remaining grounds for possession, and common misconceptions.

The mortgage rate context

Where rates have moved over the past 10 years. Bank of England historical data. Implications for leveraged property at current pricing.

Plus: after the video, an option to book a free 30-minute market briefing call with our London team — if you'd like to go deeper. Optional. No pressure to book.

Why us

17 years in UK property. One London office. Zero client fees.

We’ve spent nearly two decades working in UK property, much of that explaining recent legal and tax changes to clients in
person at our London Bridge office. The briefing is a distilled version of those conversations.

In their own words

What clients say about our service.

Real reviews. Service-focused. None of these clients are commenting on returns or performance, because that’s not what we do.

"Like many people I was apprehensive at first. Thanks to the team, the process was very professional and reassuring. Follow-up customer service has been excellent."

Graham · Verified Trustpilot

"What stood out is that they educated me first. They didn't push anything — they helped me understand what had actually changed in the market. That gave me real clarity."

James T. · Verified Client

"The team explained things in a way that finally made sense. Patient, no jargon, no pressure. Honestly the most useful conversation I've had about UK property in years."

Sensible questions

The questions people actually ask.

No. We are an education and introduction service. Devete is not an investment company, and we are not authorised or regulated by the FCA in relation to investment activities.

What we actually do is straightforward:

  1. We take the time to understand your goals, criteria, and circumstances.

  2. We educate you on the current state of the UK property market — including everything that’s changed and what it means.

  3. We connect you with vetted developers whose available opportunities align with your goals.

We do not handle client funds. We do not charge our clients any fees.

No. The briefing is factual information about UK legislation and tax policy. It contains no recommendations and is not a substitute for advice from a regulated financial adviser, accountant or solicitor. For advice tailored to your circumstances, please speak to one.

The content is publicly available legal and tax information — it shouldn’t be sold. When people find our explanations useful, a percentage stay in touch via the newsletter, attend events, or have a longer conversation with us in time. That’s a fair exchange.

You’re taken straight to the video — no waiting. After the video, you’ll have the option to book a free 30-minute market briefing call with our London team, but it’s entirely optional. You’ll also be added to our monthly market update — publicly available news, legislation changes, useful market data. No sales calls unless you specifically book one. One-click unsubscribe at any time.

No. Your details stay on our ICO-registered CRM and are used only to give you access to the video, the monthly update, and any call you’ve booked yourself. We don’t sell or pass on data to third parties.

We’re not an estate agent. We do, on request and on a non-advisory basis, introduce clients to established UK developers — but only after a client has asked us to. The briefing has nothing to do with any specific property and contains no opportunity pitches.

You shouldn’t have to. The briefing references official source documents — HMRC guidance, the Act text, government stamp duty pages — so you can verify everything yourself. We just put it in one place, in plain English, with worked examples. You decide whether that’s useful.

Sensible questions

The questions people actually ask.

Is this financial advice?

No. The briefing is factual information about UK legislation and tax policy. It contains no recommendations and is not a substitute for advice from a regulated financial adviser, accountant or solicitor. For advice tailored to your circumstances, please speak to one.

Why is it free?

What happens after I submit my details?

You’re taken straight to the video — no waiting. After the video, you’ll have the option to book a free 30-minute market briefing call with our London team, but it’s entirely optional.

Will my details be shared with anyone?

Why should I trust your explanation over a Google search?
