In the past decade, millions of Brits have snapped up home tech gadgets to monitor their kids, cats, dogs and deliveries. About one in five homes has a doorbell camera, while thousands more have pet CCTV or video baby monitors. With all this kit installed, it’s probably no surprise that some people have taken to using it for another purpose.

In an age of sensational headlines, the UK property market—particularly in Wembley—often finds itself misinterpreted. While we cannot ignore the challenges of higher mortgage rates and shifting buyer preferences, it is vital to appreciate the broader context to understand what's happening in the Wembley property landscape.

If you’ve ever considered selling your Wembley home, you may have felt the temptation to list it at a higher price, hoping for a bigger payday. After all, who wouldn’t want to maximise the return on their largest tax-free investment?
