As a first-time investor with a deposit ready, should I delay my property purchase until 2026/2027 anticipating significant price corrections, or are current market forecasts suggesting a more stable outlook that makes buying sooner advisable?

Quick Answer

Current UK property market forecasts indicate stability for 2026/2027, not significant price corrections. For a first-time investor, buying sooner might be advisable to secure current financial conditions and benefit from rental yield, rather than waiting for speculative price drops.
