Compared to 2024, supply for both the sales and lettings markets has risen year-to-date. For the homeowners market, supply has been at the highest level in the last 10 years, whilst the supply of properties to let is up 8.7% year-on-year. In numbers, we’re talking 1.5m new properties coming to the market for sale and 1.15m to let so far in 2025.
Demand, meanwhile, is also up for the sales market with Sales Agreed increasing 4.1% year-on-year and 5.7% higher for Lets Agreed.
Whilst the sales market remains resilient - we are looking likely to end the year at 1.15 million transactions - challenges remain for the lettings market as available stock in September 2025 reduced by 7% in the last year. Growth in the supply of rental properties is outstripping demand. This is improving the availability of private lettings, but there is still a long way to go.
