UK Property Market Update: Spring 2026

As we head into spring 2026, the UK property market continues to evolve. Here is our data-driven overview of the key trends sellers should be aware of.

Market confidence is growing

Buyer activity has been steadily increasing, with more enquiries per listing compared to this time last year. Interest rate stability has given buyers more confidence, and mortgage availability has improved across most lenders.

Regional highlights

The Midlands and North of England continue to see strong demand, with many properties selling within their first month on the market. London and the South East remain competitive, with pricing sensitivity being a key factor for sellers in these regions.

What this means for sellers

Spring is traditionally the busiest time for property sales, and 2026 is no exception. If you are considering selling, now is a good time to get your listing prepared. Buyers are active, and well-priced, well-presented properties are selling quickly.
