The latest Rightmove House Price Index shows prices are now 0.5% higher than this time last year, marking a clear shift from the seasonal pause of December to a more confident start to 2026.

From pricing strategy to presentation and timing, selling well is rarely rushed. Early preparation gives you more control, stronger interest, and often a better final price.

The latest Rightmove House Price Index shows the national average asking price at £368,019, effectively unchanged month-on-month (0.0%). Following the strongest start to a year for prices since 2020, February’s pause suggests the market is consolidating rather than accelerating.
