Sales Market Update Summer 2025

4 August, 2025

I often talk about the resilience of the local property market, and this year I could not be happier at the resilience that the market and the public have shown to what have been some very testing circumstances.

The volume of properties coming to the market has afforded house hunters more time to consider their options, a considerable change from recent times. With the prospect of Interest rates reducing will be a welcome fillip for buyers, at a time when the pound in our pocket does not seem to go very far.

Assuming good news for borrowers will give the property market a boost towards the end of the year which will hopefully give some momentum into the beginning of 2026.

We partner with Choice Mortgage Solutions a local Independent Financial Advisor, who will be delighted to advise and assist you if you are thinking of moving. Please contact your nearest branch for information.

In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the warm summer, our experienced and helpful staff are always available to you in branch or online via our website here 

Happy house hunting!

With very best wishes

Mark Gilbert
