The UK property market is shifting—here’s what you need to know to make the right move.
Is Now the Right Time to Sell?
The UK market has had its ups and downs over the last 12 months, with rising interest rates, cost-of-living pressures, and shifting buyer demand. But despite these challenges, opportunities remain - especially for sellers who understand the market trends.
If you’re considering selling your property, here’s what’s happening right now and what it means for you.
1. Property Prices Are Holding Steady
While some areas have seen slight price drops, others—especially those with high demand and low supply—continue to perform well. Luton and surrounding areas, for example, remain attractive to buyers thanks to strong commuter links, rental demand, and affordability compared to London.
If you price your property competitively and market it correctly, you’re still in a strong position to achieve a solid return.
2. Serious Buyers Are Still Active
Higher mortgage rates have cooled the market slightly, but serious buyers remain. Those still searching are often highly motivated- whether they’re investors looking for rental income or families in need of more space.
This means well-presented properties at the right price point are still selling, and often faster than you might expect.
3. Demand for Rental Properties Is Fueling Investor Interest
The demand for rental homes has never been higher, with many tenants struggling to find quality housing. As a result, buy-to-let investors are actively looking for properties that will deliver strong yields.
If your property has good rental potential, you may find investor interest is stronger than you think - especially for homes in key commuter areas or those with multiple bedrooms.
4. Selling Off-Market Could Be a Smart Move
Some sellers prefer a discreet sale rather than listing on the open market. This is where VA’s **black book deals** come in - we connect motivated sellers with serious investors, cutting out the usual delays and uncertainties.
If you’re looking to sell quickly and with less hassle, an off-market sale could be worth considering.
