As January settles in, the property market quickly regains momentum. Buyer enquiries rise, sellers begin to act on decisions made over the Christmas break, and landlords turn their attention to priorities for the year ahead. January is a naturally purposeful time, a month where plans become practical and well-timed decisions can make a real difference.
In this edition, we break down what the early-year market means for sellers, including why improving affordability and stable pricing are drawing committed buyers back sooner than expected. We also highlight where thoughtful, targeted improvements can genuinely enhance a property’s appeal before launching to market. For landlords, we look ahead to the key milestones approaching, from preparing for the upcoming Renters’ Rights Act, to the practical steps required for Making Tax Digital ahead of April. Taken together, these insights are designed to help you plan with clarity, avoid unnecessary pressure and move forward with confidence.
