Market Reports

The new year got off to a busy start across all our departments. We eagerly awaited the first property reports of 2025 to assess the health of the wider market. The verdict? There are many positives to take away, starting with a sales market bubbling with interest.

December marked the end of an interesting period for the property market. The 12 months were underpinned by a change to the English Government, inflation closer to 2% and a decreasing base rate. The year was, however, tempered by what might lie ahead in 2025.

With the end of the year almost in sight, people would be forgiven for focusing on Christmas. This November, however, felt very different. A 0.25% cut to the Bank of England base rate at the start of the month set a positive tone.
