London’s property market is cleared for take-off

After a cautious end to 2025, London's property market is now taking flight. Buyers and sellers are moving into top gear in Q1, with rate cuts bringing once-hesitant buyers back into action. List with Foxtons by 31 March, and you'll not only capture this big wave of motivation, but also collect 20,000 Avios when we sell your property.¹

The 'wait and see' era is over

Late 2025 was a slow market. That’s typical for December, but the Autumn Budget and stubborn inflation gave buyers and sellers even more reason to pause. That is, until the Bank of England cut the base rate. Now, as the ripples from the Autumn Budget settle and mortgage products become more affordable, those hurdles that held buyers back are finally falling away.

Ready...

And if you needed any more proof that people are getting moving, we have two good news stories to show you. First, Rightmove’s busiest ever Boxing Day.

This yearly surge is called the Boxing Day Bounce, and after Christmas 2025, it reached record levels. According to Rightmove, platform visits nearly doubled (+93%) from Christmas Day to Boxing Day, making it the biggest jump they’ve ever recorded. The number of people sending enquiries to view homes rose by 67% in just five days, and new listings more than doubled (+143%) compared with the days before Christmas.

Steady...

And now, we're in the best time of the year to list a property. Rightmove tallied up the numbers, and found that nearly seven in ten homes that come to market in January, February and March go on to secure a buyer (68.9% in February, 68.8% in January and March). By very slim margins, January is the fastest, February has the highest completed sales and March is the busiest - all good signs to get moving.

Is now a good time to list my property?

And now, you do too.

Foxtons is the only estate agency where you earn Avios while we work. And, as Foxtons is London's number 1 estate agency brand³ for the third year running, you know you are working with the right team to get the deal done.

While we handle the viewings, paperwork and negotiations, you can plan where those Avios will help you go. Five-star room service over the Amalfi Coast? A convertible cruising the Riviera? The best seat at 40,000 feet? Your choice.
