Buyer Demand in 2025 Already Well Ahead Of 2024

According to Zoopla, buyer demand across the UK market is already tracking 14% ahead of early 2024, giving 2025 an incredible start for the property industry. New sales agreed are also up 15% compared to 2024, and valuation leads are 30% more likely to be looking to sell than this time last year. All factors point to a strong market, with the Stamp Duty rush pushing those who may have been looking to move in the later months of 2025 to get their best options today.

The highest interest across the UK is in turnkey properties – meaning the years of ‘don’t move, improve’ are long behind us. Previously, the common consensus was to buy properties of a lower quality to then renovate and upgrade to gain a profit, but this has been dropping for some time, with most buyers now looking for the best they can get from day one.

Mortgage rates continue to drop, alongside a frantic market with interest skyrocketing early in the year, making now the perfect time for those looking to invest or to purchase new property. The run-up to the Stamp Duty Tax Relief ending on May 1^st is giving a huge amount of buyers the drive they need to move fast, securing their purchases ahead of that time to keep their costs as low as they can, as well as getting the very most for their money while capital appreciation continues to grow.
