Next Steps Checklist - For Buyers And Sellers After You’ve Agreed a Sale


After a quieter end to 2025, the early months of 2026 have gradually rebuilt confidence in the housing market. As we move into spring, activity is beginning to strengthen and March may be the strategic launch point sellers have been waiting for.
With mortgage rates stabilising and a wave of spring listings beginning to emerge, March 2026 presents a well-balanced window for buyers, just ahead of the heightened competition that typically defines early summer.
For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.
If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a property consultation is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.
