As the holiday season approaches and the year draws to a close, it is a natural time for reflection, planning, and renewed ambition. Across the UK property market, the festive period is not only a moment for celebration but also a strategic window for investors to assess opportunities, review progress, and position themselves for the year ahead.
For DBR Investment Group, 2025 has been a year defined by momentum, delivery, and confidence in the long-term strength of UK property investment. As we look ahead to 2026, we are pleased to share a construction update, reaffirm our commitment to quality developments, and introduce an exciting new project coming soon to the heart of Wigan: Dicconson Terrace.
Blending modern design, a central location, and strong investment potential, Dicconson Terrace represents DBR Investment Group’s vision for the future, thoughtfully designed developments that respond to market demand while delivering lasting value for investors.
The Holiday Season: A Strategic Time for Property Investors
While the holiday season is often associated with slowing activity, experienced property investors understand that it can be one of the most strategic periods of the year.
The final quarter allows investors to:
Review portfolio performance over the past 12 months
Assess emerging trends within regional property markets
Identify developments launching in the new year
Plan acquisitions and financing strategies ahead of peak activity
In recent years, northern towns such as Wigan have continued to attract attention due to affordability, regeneration initiatives, and consistent rental demand. These factors make developments launching in early 2026 particularly appealing for investors seeking both income stability and capital growth.
At DBR Investment Group, the holiday season is also a time to reaffirm our long-term approach: delivering well-located, design-led residential projects that align with real market needs rather than short-term speculation.
DBR Investment Group: 2025 Construction Progress and Market Confidence
Throughout 2025, DBR Investment Group has continued to progress its development pipeline with a strong focus on construction quality, compliance, and market relevance. Despite ongoing challenges across the construction sector, ranging from material costs to labour availability, our projects have remained aligned with planned milestones through disciplined project management and experienced delivery teams.
Key priorities throughout 2025 have included:
Maintaining build quality and specification standards
Ensuring projects remain commercially viable for investors
Aligning layouts and unit mixes with tenant demand
Preparing developments for long-term operational efficiency
These principles underpin every DBR Investment Group project and will continue to guide our approach into 2026. As we enter the new year, we are confident that our developments are well-positioned within their local markets and aligned with wider housing demand across the North West.
Introducing Dicconson Terrace: Coming Soon to the Heart of Wigan
One of the most anticipated additions to the DBR Investment Group portfolio is Dicconson Terrace, a new residential development coming soon to a prime central location in Wigan.
Strategically positioned in the heart of the town, Dicconson Terrace has been designed to meet the needs of today’s urban renters and tomorrow’s property investors. The development brings together three critical pillars of a successful investment:
1. Modern Design
Dicconson Terrace will feature a contemporary architectural approach, prioritising clean lines, efficient layouts, and modern interiors. Today’s tenants increasingly seek well-designed living spaces that balance comfort, practicality, and aesthetic appeal.
The design ethos focuses on:
Maximising natural light
Practical, low-maintenance finishes
Functional layouts suitable for professionals and small households
Energy-efficient considerations aligned with modern standards
This modern approach not only enhances tenant appeal but also supports long-term rental performance and asset durability.
2. Central Wigan Location
Location remains one of the most important fundamentals in UK property investment, and Dicconson Terrace benefits from a highly accessible position within Wigan.
Wigan continues to strengthen its appeal as a commuter town, supported by:
Direct rail links to Manchester and Liverpool
Ongoing town centre regeneration initiatives
Proximity to employment hubs and amenities
Strong demand from working professionals and residents
A central location enhances rental demand, reduces void periods, and supports sustainable yields, key considerations for investors entering the market in 2026.
3. Strong UK Property Investment Potential
Dicconson Terrace has been conceived with investors firmly in mind. The combination of modern design, central positioning, and regional affordability creates a compelling proposition for those seeking exposure to the North West property market.
Key investment fundamentals include:
Consistent rental demand within Wigan
Attractive entry pricing compared to larger cities
Potential for steady capital growth aligned with regeneration
Suitability for long-term buy-to-let strategies
As affordability pressures continue in major UK cities, towns such as Wigan are increasingly viewed as sensible alternatives for investors seeking a balance between yield and growth.
2026 Outlook: Confidence, Growth, and New Opportunities
Looking ahead to 2026, the UK property market is expected to remain selective rather than speculative. Investors are becoming more focused on fundamentals: location, build quality, tenant demand, and long-term viability. Developments like Dicconson Terrace reflect this shift toward practical, well-researched investment opportunities.
DBR Investment Group enters 2026 with confidence, underpinned by:
A clear development strategy
A pipeline aligned with regional housing demand
Continued focus on delivering investor-ready assets
Commitment to transparency and long-term partnerships
As interest rates stabilise and confidence gradually returns to the market, developments launching in 2026 are likely to benefit from renewed buyer engagement, particularly those located in well-connected regional towns.
