As one of the local areas market leading Estate Agents we have taken on board the current market conditions and been listening to our clients current problems and frustrations.

Our observations lead us to the conclusion that current demand levels are making it close to impossible for buyers to secure their first choice property. We put this down to the fact that, approaching 85% of homebuyers in a study of various UK Estate Agents were not on the Estate Agent's mailing list before they viewed and subsequently bought their house through, according to research. We found this astonishing owing to the fact that it is also true that up to 1 in 5 properties do not get marketed on the main property portals as some vendors prefer to market their properties on a low profile basis. Demand outstripping supply meaning properties are frequently being sold prior to coming to the market.


The other primary buyer frustration was the fact that agents were constantly bombarding them with homes which were not "relevant" to their requirements. The fact that some agents only have the capability to send you properties which matched your budget and a very ambiguous location has (quite rightly) caused massive frustration for homebuyers during the last decade.

What if you could get the latest property listings sent directly to your inbox?

May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.

As spring progresses, the property market across our network continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and activity. We are pleased to share an update on our recent sales performance, highlighting our teams' dedication and the vibrant local market.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.
