The key headlines for Q3 2025:

• The supply of New Instructions in Q3 2025 increased by 1.7% compared to Q3 2024. During 2025, over 1.4 million properties have been listed for sale. The residential property market continues to perform at a slightly elevated level compared to 2024.
• Sales Agreed volumes are up by 5.3%. When we look at 2025 year to date, this has increased by more than 7% year-on-year.
• Sales Agreed volumes are up by 3.2% in the same period. When we look at 2025 year to date, this has increased by 5.1% year-on-year.
• Exchanges are on par with Q3 2024. Year-to-date, HMRC has reported 780,000 transactions, which is 12.8% higher than 2024 and 2.9% higher than pre-pandemic 2019.
• When Does Discretion Become Invisibility? The Changing Economics of Private Property Sales. We take a look at whether off-market transactions are becoming less of an option.
• Inheritance Tax Impact: Pensioner Property Sales Surge by 26%. Our Data Reveals Significant Shift in Retirement-Age Home-Moving Behaviour.

“With 82,000 sales falling through in Q3 alone, we’re fully behind the government’s push to shake up the homebuying process. Waiting four months just to exchange contracts is far too long – no wonder buyers get cold feet, or unexpected issues crop up in surveys.

A bit more upfront info at the start could really help smooth things out. As we head into the final stretch of the year, we’re cautiously optimistic. If the autumn budget plays ball, we’re on track to hit 1.15 million completed transactions in 2025. “
