Wellingtons Property Edit - June
It’s July and – whisper it – the summer holidays are just around the corner! This period ordinarily sees a drop-off in buyer activity, but locally, homeowners are still coming to the market. It’ll be interesting to see if 2026 bucks this trend.
Anyway, what’s in our Edit this month? As always, we’ll look at the headline news and stats from the UK property market, tell you which homes are selling in Camberley (and those that are sticking), and share advice on how to sell your home and get the best outcome in a buyer’s market.
Market Watch
The average house price in Surrey Heath is now £445,000, compared with the UK average of around £270,000
House prices in Surrey Heath have increased by 1.9% over the past year, outperforming many parts of the South East where values have remained broadly flat
Buyer choice is at its highest June level for a decade, giving purchasers more options and increasing competition between sellers
Mortgage affordability is improving, with the average two-year fixed rate falling to around 5.07% (5.18% last month)
Buyer demand remains resilient, but purchasers are increasingly price-sensitive and selective
Looking ahead, expect a steady summer market, with modest price growth supported by lower mortgage rates but tempered by higher supply.
