What's happening in the market?
Property and real estate teams continue to operate under pressure heading into 2026, despite some stabilisation in turnover. In 2025, 52% of employers reported no change in staff turnover, while 26% saw improvement and 22% experienced worsening conditions. Expectations for 2026 are more balanced, with half of employers anticipating stability and 40% forecasting an improvement. This suggests greater overall stability, alongside continued sensitivity in teams already stretched by workload and resourcing constraints.
Hiring patterns highlight where pressure is most acute across the sector.
Demand remains concentrated in operational and portfolio-facing roles, with Residential Property Managers the hardest to fill (25%), followed by Facilities and Operations Managers (14%) and Commercial Property Managers (13%). Although 65% of teams plan to grow in 2026, 62% still describe themselves as under-resourced, highlighting that hiring is focused on maintaining service levels and increasing competition for experienced talent.
