Is Now a Good Time to Sell Your Home in Wandsworth? (May 2025 Update)

If you’ve been wondering whether 2025 is the right time to sell your home in Wandsworth, you're not alone. The latest Zoopla House Price Index (May 2025) offers a useful snapshot of what’s happening in the property market—and what it means for sellers in our part of London.


What the Data Shows

Across the UK, the market is showing signs of real strength:

  • Sales agreed are at a 4-year high, with activity rebounding following the end of stamp duty relief.

  • Buyers can now borrow up to 20% more than earlier this year, thanks to relaxed mortgage affordability testing.

  • UK house price growth stands at 1.6%, modest but stable.

But here’s where it matters for Wandsworth sellers: London’s market is behaving differently from the national average.


What’s Happening in Wandsworth and the South

In the South of England—including Wandsworth—there are more homes for sale than buyers, with stock levels up 15–20%. That means more competition for your property and slightly slower sales growth compared to the North.

What does this mean for you as a seller?

  • A strong pricing strategy is essential. Overpricing risks long time on market, while well-priced homes are still selling.

  • Buyers are negotiating. On average, UK homes are selling at 97% of their asking price—so it’s smart to build some flexibility into your plan.

  • Marketing matters more than ever. With more homes on the market, making yours stand out visually and emotionally is key.


Why It’s Still a Good Time to Sell

Despite the increased competition, buyer demand is healthy. The recent changes to mortgage rules mean buyers can stretch further, which is supporting new offers and agreed sales.

If you're thinking of moving, it’s less about timing the market perfectly and more about understanding your position, pricing right, and working with someone who knows the local landscape.
