Able Estates, serving South East London and North Kent

Local Market Update

What's happening to asking prices across South East London and North Kent

We wanted to share something worth knowing if you're thinking of selling this year, because the market has shifted in a way that makes a real difference to how you go about it.

There are more homes for sale around here than at any point since 2015. Nationally, asking prices fell by 0.6% in June, the biggest drop for that month in fourteen years, and close to a third of the homes on the market have already reduced their price. None of this points to a crash. But it does change one thing that matters a great deal: the price you choose to launch at now has more bearing on your result than almost anything else.

“Bought my house with Able Estates. The advertisement is more genuine than some of the others out there. The process from making an offer to complete was long as I was in a chain but the agent kept me informed every step of the way. Would recommend.”
