A Strong Start to the Spring Property Market
As we move into the spring season, Bradford & Howley has released its latest local Property Market Report, offering a useful overview of current trends and the conditions we are experiencing across St Albans, Marshalswick, Harpenden, and the surrounding villages.
Early indicators suggest that 2026 has begun with encouraging momentum. Buyer demand remains robust, with motivated purchasers actively looking to secure well-located and well-presented homes. This renewed activity is typical of the spring market, traditionally one of the busiest and most successful periods of the year for property sales.
Across our offices, we are seeing particularly strong levels of interest in family homes close to good schools and mainline stations, with many properties attracting competitive offers shortly after launch.
Andrew Bradford, Partner at Bradford & Howley, comments:
“Spring has brought a noticeable uplift in market activity. Buyers who paused their plans during the latter part of last year are returning with renewed intent, supported by improving mortgage choice and a clearer outlook. For sellers, this combination of demand and seasonal momentum can create an excellent opportunity to achieve strong results.”
For homeowners who have recently received a valuation, this may be a timely moment to consider bringing a property to market while buyer interest remains high. Equally, for those still exploring their options, early professional advice on pricing, presentation and marketing strategy can help ensure a successful launch when the time feels right.
