Why is NOW the time to get moving?

As we reflect on an exceptional February 2025, we’re thrilled to share some of the standout results that have not only showcased the strength of our team but also highlighted the buoyant and dynamic nature of the current property market.

 Whether you're considering buying, selling, or letting, the figures below underscore that the market is full of opportunity — and now could be the perfect time to act.

February has been an extraordinary month for sales, with nearly 3,700 viewings booked and a highly impressive 1,349 new buyers registered. These figures highlight the significant demand in the market right now. For every property on the market, we have 10 potential buyers. That buyer-to-property ratio speaks volumes about the level of competition out there, and for sellers, it's a signal that now could be an opportune moment to list your property.

 What stands out even more is our record-breaking achievement of selling £91 million worth of property in just one month. This is a direct reflection of the vibrant interest in homes across a range of price points. It’s also a testament to the strength of the current market, which is favouring both sellers and agents alike.

 An important metric that also speaks to the market's health is the fact that from the sales agreed, we achieved 99% of the asking price. This not only demonstrates the strong buyer confidence but also highlights our team's ability to set accurate, competitive pricing, ensuring that our clients get the best possible deal in the market today.

 With an impressive number of valuations carried out in February, it's clear that homeowners are looking to take advantage of the current market conditions. Whether it's moving up the property ladder or downsizing, buyers and sellers alike are making confident moves, supported by the highly competitive landscape.

The lettings side of our business is also showing signs of a continued positive rental market. With a high number of new tenants registering this month looking for a home, the demand for rental properties remains extremely high. In fact, the tenant-to-property ratio stands at a staggering 8:1. For every property available to rent, there are eight prospective tenants eagerly waiting for the right opportunity.

This demand is reflected in the 937 viewings that were booked, which illustrates the energy and competition within the rental market right now. Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, it’s clear that the market is primed for activity.

Strong Buyer Demand: With 10 potential buyers for every property on the market, sellers can take advantage of significant interest in their homes, while buyers have access to a range of properties to choose from.

Competitive Rental Market: The lettings market remains highly competitive, with more tenants than available properties. Landlords with rental properties can expect significant interest and quick turnovers, while tenants must act fast to secure their next home.

Market Confidence: Achieving 99% of asking price on sales is a strong indication of the confidence both buyers and sellers have in the current property market. Accurate valuations and competitive pricing ensure that sellers are achieving great results.

Record Activity: With thousands of viewings, offers, and valuations in February alone, it’s clear that the property market is in full swing, and both buyers and sellers are taking action.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a move, our February results make it clear: NOW is the time. Whether you're considering selling, buying, or letting, the current market is ripe with opportunity. With strong buyer demand, competitive rents, and high levels of market activity, this is the moment to take the next step in your property journey.
