No More Stamp Duty Savings… So, What’s Next for the Market?

The end of March marks a key date for buyers hoping to benefit from stamp duty savings.
So… is that it? Is the market about to stall? That’s the worry on many people’s minds. But behind the headlines, the reality looks very different.

In moments like this, the difference lies in how you move—not how quickly.

For buyers, it’s about being strategic.

You're already behind if you’re only looking at what’s online. With just 2% of homes ever making it to the open market, a smart search strategy is essential. That’s why many are now using our Search & Secure Service to access off-market opportunities and get ahead of the crowd.

The property market has continued to show resilience as we move further into spring, although April has brought a noticeable shift in momentum. With interest rates rising and affordability being stretched, both buyers and sellers are adapting to a more balanced – and in some cases more cautious – market.

The way buyers search for homes has changed dramatically over the last few years. Today’s buyers make decisions faster, compare more properties online and often rule homes out before ever booking a viewing. Here is how buyer behaviour has changed and what sellers need to understand now.

he property market is active, but not everything is performing the same. Some homes are selling quickly, others are sitting. The difference is not luck. It is positioning, pricing and preparation. Here is what is actually happening right now and what it means if you are thinking of selling.
