I'm a property expert that still remembers the days when having broadband was a selling point! My articles cover issues that homesellers face in the UK and answer the questions we're all asking. I've bought and sold properties and helped others do the same, so my writing comes from years of experience.
Read Full Bio >The latest Halifax and Nationwide House Price Index releases have offered a clearer picture of the UK property market; and it’s a picture painted in shades of stagnation.
Springbok’s Founder and CEO, Shepherd Ncube, was featured across national and industry press – including Estate Agent Networking, The Telegraph, MSN, Yahoo Finance, Landlord Knowledge, Property Industry Eye, and Property Reporter – providing expert commentary on what the data really means for sellers.
Although there’s been a slight monthly rise in growth, Shepherd explains that conditions remain difficult:
“Despite a surprise monthly increase in the rate of house price growth, wider market conditions remain tough, and the Autumn Budget has done nothing to negate this.”
For months, buyers and sellers have been waiting for clarity.
The November slowdown, and the flatlining seen across multiple regions, shows just how cautious the market had become.
Many hoped the Chancellor would bring relief or incentives that might stimulate movement.
Instead, as Shepherd comments: “The market has been in a state of pre-Budget paralysis for many months… and with the Government doing little to change this, we can expect the market to limp to the finish line and start 2026 on the backfoot.”
In other words, uncertainty lifted, but confidence didn’t return.
What this means for sellers
The data, combined with industry reaction, suggests that:
- Transaction timelines will remain slow
- Chains will stay fragile
- Buyers will remain cautious
- Early 2026 is unlikely to bring a sudden surge in activity
For sellers with deadlines – such as relocation, probate, financial pressure, or simply wanting to move on – waiting for a “better market” may not be realistic.
In a market where reliability is in short supply, Springbok provides alternatives that remove the uncertainty.
In fact, 19,000+ sellers have used our routes to sell when the market wouldn’t let them.
Final thoughts
The headline is simple.
The UK property market will end 2025 slowly, cautiously, and without the clarity many hoped for.
But sellers are not stuck.
There are faster, safer routes, and Springbok remains here to provide them.
