Home buyers and sellers are coming back to the UK property market in droves. So, whether you are a first-time buyer, looking for your perfect forever home, or a property investor, it seems now is a good time to move.
Summer surge
This time of year often sees an increase in home-moving activity. As warmer, lighter, and longer evenings appear, you have more time for house viewings, so it makes sense to move in the summertime.
0% stamp duty
Stamp duty is due to increase in April 2025. But right now, it’s at 0% for homes up to the value of £250,000 and for first-time buyers up to the value of £425,000.* This reduces the cost of your move.
Sellers are back
The number of new sellers coming to the market is up by 12% compared to this time a year ago, and the number of sales being agreed upon is up by 13%.** With the number of homes arriving on the market increasing as ‘For Sale’ signs appear in the locations you love, you know you are closer than ever to finding the property you really want.
Buyers are back
With more properties coming to the market, we are seeing buyer demand increase. Buyers are often sellers too, so they bring more choice to the market which in turn increases confidence in the market.
