Market Reports

High summer has arrived but is the UK property market running hot? After digesting the latest round of reports, the verdict is we’re in a stable period. The absence of drastic highs and lows seen in previous years is great news for home movers.

It certainly was a flaming June but did the property market also run hot? We have digested the information and figures published in the month. Here’s the current state of play as we head into the second half of 2025. 

Where are we moving to, how much is it costing us and what’s the market like? We take a look at the key property reports and research released in May to provide you with a sales and lettings overview. Let’s start with house prices.

While spring is usually one of the property market’s busiest seasons, 2025 looks set to be a little different. As well as being brisk for both sales and lettings, this April was an important time for setting the scene ahead of summer. Future property prospects look fascinating.

Brighter days and warmer temperatures are often the catalyst for increased property activity and last month was no different. Rightmove’s March House Price Index saw all its vital metrics increase. The figures provide a positive market overview. 

Just like that, February was over. While it can feel like a quiet month squashed between the New Year rush and the spring peak, February 2025 had a micro-climate all of its own. As well as home movers pushing to complete before the stamp duty deadline on 31st March, we were noting the buyers of the future.
