Has anything changed in your financial picture since the Budget? And could it affect your next move?

The latest Rightmove House Price Index gives a clear signal about where the UK property market is heading as we move deeper into 2026. After a strong start to the year, the February figures show that buyer activity remains high while sellers are beginning to prepare for the traditional spring market surge.

Spring is when most homeowners decide to sell. The problem is that everyone else does too. Here is why sellers who move before the rush often attract stronger buyers and better results.

Buyer demand does not suddenly appear in spring. It starts right now. In this article we break down where serious buyers are in January 2026, why early demand creates stronger pricing and how sellers who move first gain a real negotiation edge before the market becomes crowded.

As we step into 2026, many homeowners are wondering what the new year holds for the property market. This January update offers a calm, confident look at the current landscape, helping you understand the key trends and what they mean for your home.
