The UK property market has experienced an incredible journey over the past year, driven by unique circumstances and a collective determination from everyone involved in the buying and selling process. One of the most notable periods we’ve just emerged from was the surge of activity brought on by the stamp duty holiday deadline. This deadline created a whirlwind of movement, as buyers and sellers raced to complete their transactions in time to benefit from significant tax savings.
What truly stood out during this time was the collaborative spirit across the industry. Buyers, sellers, estate agents, solicitors, and mortgage advisors all came together, working tirelessly under immense pressure. At Durden & Hunt, we witnessed first-hand the commitment and resilience of our clients and partners. There were long hours, fast turnarounds, and an unwavering focus on achieving those all-important completions—and many did. It was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when everyone pulls in the same direction.
Now, as we look beyond that deadline, I’m pleased to say the market has not slowed down—in fact, quite the opposite.
Demand remains high. We are seeing a consistent stream of motivated buyers actively searching for their next home. Properties that are correctly priced and presented well are still selling quickly, often with multiple viewings and strong offers. It’s a competitive, exciting time to be in the property market.
There’s a renewed sense of confidence among both buyers and sellers. With interest rates holding steady the appetite for property—whether as a personal move or an investment—remains strong. From family homes in desirable suburbs to modern apartments in thriving towns, the UK housing market continues to show its resilience and potential.
At Durden & Hunt, we’re proud to be leading from the front. Our team is energised, highly active, and achieving exceptional results for our clients across the country.
