Spring into Action: Why Spring is the Best Time to Get Moving

Spring is often considered the season of new beginnings, and what better way to embrace change than by moving into a new home? If you’re thinking about buying or selling, spring offers the perfect conditions to make your move a success. Here’s why:

1. More Properties on the Market

Spring sees an increase in property listings, giving buyers more choice and a better chance of finding their dream home. Sellers, too, benefit from increased demand, leading to quicker sales and competitive offers.

2. Better Weather for Viewings and Moving Day

Gone are the dark, dreary days of winter! Spring’s longer daylight hours and milder temperatures make it ideal for house viewings, highlighting homes in their best light. Moving day is also easier with better weather conditions.

3. Increased Buyer Demand

Many families aim to move before the summer holidays, making spring one of the busiest times in the property market. With more motivated buyers looking, sellers have a strong chance of securing a good deal.

4. Kerb Appeal is at Its Best

Spring flowers, fresh greenery, and sunnier skies enhance a property’s appeal. A well-presented home can attract more interest and potentially higher offers.

5. Mortgage Approvals May Be Faster

Mortgage lenders tend to experience fewer delays in spring compared to the end-of-year rush, meaning your application could be processed more efficiently.

6. Beat the Stamp Duty Increase

With an increase in stamp duty set to take effect in April 2025, many buyers are eager to complete their purchase before the changes come into force. This urgency is driving market activity, with buyers keen to secure deals before higher costs take effect. If you’re considering a move, acting now could save you thousands in additional fees.
