As we move into 2025, the UK housing market offers sellers an exceptional chance to make the most of their property’s value. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, here’s why this year is the perfect time to sell: 

1. Steady house price growth 

With average asking prices forecasted to rise by 4% this year*, sellers have a great opportunity to achieve strong returns. Pricing your property competitively and presenting it well are key to attracting serious buyers. Working with experienced property experts can help you make the most of this growing market. 

2. Falling mortgage rates boosting demand 

Mortgage rates are expected to drop to around 4% for fixed-rate deals, with a possible decrease to 3% by the end of the year.* These favourable conditions are drawing more buyers into the market, increasing competition and interest in properties like yours. 

3. Act before stamp duty changes 

Stamp duty rates are set to rise on April 1, 2025, creating a surge in early-year buyer activity as people rush to complete transactions. Sellers who list their homes now can take advantage of this urgency, leading to quicker sales and higher offers. 

4. Thriving market activity 

With 1.15 million property completions predicted this year*, market activity is on the rise. This vibrant environment offers sellers increased visibility and the chance to attract competitive offers. 

5. Buyers’ confidence is growing 

Falling mortgage rates and remortgaging opportunities are giving buyers more purchasing power. For sellers, this means a larger pool of qualified buyers eager to secure their next home. 

The combination of rising house prices, lower mortgage rates, and heightened market demand makes 2025 the ideal time to sell.
