Could 2026 Be the Year You Find Your Next Home?

Could 2026 Be the Year You Find Your Next Home?

If buying a home has been on your mind, 2026 could be a great time to take the next step. With a more balanced market, improving mortgage stability and steady house price growth, buyers now have more choice and greater confidence.

A calmer market means less pressure, fewer bidding wars and more time to find the right home, whether you’re buying for the first time, upsizing, downsizing or investing.

Mortgage rates are becoming more predictable, making it easier to plan your budget and understand what’s achievable. At the same time, steady price growth supports sensible decision-making without the rush seen in previous years.

With continued support for buyers and a positive economic outlook, conditions remain encouraging across the Cotswolds and the Vale of the White Horse.

Your next move often starts with understanding your home’s value. If you’d like to talk through your plans or begin your search, we’d love to help.

The private rented sector is changing at a pace we haven't seen for many years. While much of the attention has focused on the Renters' Rights Act, several other important legislative changes are either already in force or expected over the coming months.

September and October are traditionally two of our strongest months for selling homes and this autumn could bring fresh opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. Whether you’re thinking of selling, already on the market or searching for your next home, discover why the weeks ahead could be an important time to make your move.

A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.
