September 2025 sees a modest lift in the UK housing market. Rightmove reports a 0.4% rise in asking prices to £370,257. In Yorkshire & The Humber, values are up 2% year-on-year, with homes taking 66 days to sell, making realistic pricing vital for sellers.

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.

Upsizing can feel like a big leap, but with the right preparation, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to move into a home that truly fits your needs.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.
