Katie Rogers, Chief Financial Officer at Greencore Homes, has contributed to a recent FT Adviser article examining what lies ahead for the UK housing industry in 2026.
Written by Tom Dunstan, the piece explores sector sentiment following the Autumn Budget, with a general consensus that the market is likely to remain relatively stable over the coming year. Katie highlights that the muted nature of the Budget may encourage buyers to bring forward purchasing decisions, particularly as interest rates are expected to continue easing.
The article also features perspectives from across the industry. Simon Cox, Managing Director at Walter Cooper, notes that strong demand for new land is expected to persist as the industry works to meet housing delivery targets, alongside a continued focus on affordable housing.
Looking further ahead, Simon Vernon-Harcourt, Design and Planning Director at City & Country, points to the long-awaited Future Homes Standard as a key milestone for 2026, which is expected to bring greater clarity around sustainability requirements across the sector.
The article highlights the importance of policy certainty, market confidence and sustainable delivery as the housing industry navigates the year ahead.
