Enjoyable ‘numbers go up’ game
There’s one big problem that’s been introduced. Properties now develop major issues. When this appears, you’re given a timescale to resolve it. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to fix these. It doesn’t appear anywhere! Under analytics, you will see the issue your property has. But nowhere does it let you fix it. It’s happened twice and because of this, my property value decreases.

Really enjoyed the game so far. Just managed to hit £45k cash flow. A few thoughts:
- Young families appear to constantly decrease property condition 1% each time you advance. This seems too high
- I want to be able to select the type of tenant I want for each property
- It would be good to have different properties suited to different tenants. At the moment, there is no reason to go for lower paying tenants
Overall I am enjoying the game!

Thanks for the 4 stars! And £45k cash flow is no small achievement! Really appreciate you taking the time to give such detailed feedback as well. The points you raised about property condition and having more meaningful choices around tenants and different types of properties are great suggestions. We’ve made a major update since you posted this review, so there’s quite a lot that’s changed since then. Hopefully you’ll jump back in and see what’s new — thanks again for playing!
Great game and thanks for update
Suggestions:
Far too many notifications still. Puts me off owning any properties.
Land development is very OP once you do that the games over and everything else is sort of pointless
Staff section is a bit confusing and hard to navigate its too big and I struggle to see what they actually do, really hoped they would take care of 99% of notifications that pop up but they don’t?
Make the game harder so it lasts longer.
If you do anything tho please get rid of all the pop up notifications. once u complete the game it could be fun to say get 100 hmo’s or something, little challenges i could do myself but imagine how many pop ups you would have every turn theres no way i could sit on the game and do that would be a nightmare

Thanks so much for the kind review — I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the game and that it kept you hooked for so long! It means a lot to hear that you found it realistic as well. I really appreciate the feedback on the difficulty curve too. You’re right that the mid-to-late game can become a bit too easy, and balancing that progression — especially making hard mode feel more distinct — is something I’m looking into for future updates. And thank you for the very generous comment about it being one of the best games on the App Store — that genuinely means a lot. It’s great to hear you’d be interested in expansions as well. Feedback like this is incredibly helpful and really motivates future development. Thanks again for your support!
Frustrating but has potential
Response from developer
Thanks for the honest feedback, Moggy. We completely understand the frustration of getting to around £20k after your first property and then feeling like you’ve hit a brick wall with nowhere to go. We’ve recently released a major update with lots of new features and changes to give players more ways to build their property empire and keep progressing. Hopefully you’ll give it another go and see how much UK Property Tycoon has evolved! Thanks again for playing and for sharing your feedback.
Love it
Would be good to employ maintenance managers to deal with tenant requests and maybe commercial properties in future updates.
Really hope we get an update soon as I’m keen to play again soon
Fun, addictive. But game ending bugs.
My biggest gripe with the game is the bugs that seem to present themselves. Especially with mortgages/loans. After buying a house with bridging fees and then once it’s time to remortgage and stress testing is failed. The game won’t let you close that screen and carry on so you get soft locked and have to delete that save and start all over again. It gets very frustrating especially when you’re only 0.01 off the stress test threshold that can be solved with one renovation.
Other than that. It’s a fantastic game to pass time. Especially when you’re on the toilet hahaha
Response from developer
30–40 hours in a couple of weeks?! We’ll definitely take that as a compliment! Thanks so much for the great review and for sticking with UK Property Tycoon. We’re really sorry about the mortgage/bridging loan issue though — especially when you’re only 0.01 away from passing the stress test! I can imagine how frustrating it is to put that much time into a game and then have your save get stuck. We’ve made a major update since you posted this review with lots of changes and improvements, and we’re continuing to work on making the game better. Thanks again for playing — even if apparently the toilet is one of our best locations!
