Why Millions Could Be Forced to Sell Their Homes in London Before 2026

Why Millions Could Be Forced to Sell Their Homes in London Before 2026 London is facing a full-scale housing meltdown. Over a million homeowners are on the brink as mortgage rates skyrocket, rents hit record highs, and landlords flee the market. What began as a wave of cheap lending has spiraled into a mortgage and rental crisis that could force millions to sell before 2026. In this video, we expose the truth behind the UK’s housing affordability collapse — how fixed-rate mortgage deals that once looked like blessings have become financial traps, and why the Bank of England’s rate hikes are reshaping the London property market faster than anyone expected. You’ll learn: Why 1.6 million UK homeowners are seeing payments double overnight How interest rate hikes are driving mass repossessions Why London rents are rising faster than wages How landlords are dumping properties, sparking a rental supply crisis Why first-time buyers are being locked out despite falling house prices What the Bank of England and government policy failures mean for 2026 And who will still afford to live in London when the dust finally settles This is more than a story about housing — it’s about the financial future of Britain’s middle class. If you’re a homeowner, renter, or investor, you need to understand what’s coming next.
