Festive Office Opening Hours 2025

The BR6 housing market has entered 2026 in a steadier, more selective position than the national headlines suggest. Buyer confidence has improved, mortgage affordability has edged forward, and well-priced family homes are still selling, particularly at the upper end of the market. However, with more property available and buyers taking a disciplined approach, success now depends on realistic pricing, strong presentation, and informed local advice. This review looks at what is really happening in BR6, what the data means for homeowners, and why a proper, in-person valuation remains the most sensible starting point for anyone considering a sale this year.

The property market is still moving, but success now depends on clarity, preparation and realistic advice. Sellers who are transacting have clear onward plans, price accurately from the outset and work with agents who provide honest, evidence-led guidance.  Aligning strategy with what the market is actually doing remains the most effective way to achieve a successful move.

The BR6 housing market continues to show resilience in 2025, with average prices rising 5.7% year-on-year to £566,572 despite a slight slowdown in transactions. Detached homes remain highly sought-after, and strong buyer interest continues to underpin steady demand.
