Come and find me on Friday morning. 👋

I'll be at Brackley market, same spot it's been for as long as anyone can remember, and I'm always happy to stop for a chat.

If you're thinking about moving here, or you're just curious about what the market's doing, come and say hello. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation with someone who knows this town.

House prices, school catchments, the commute to Milton Keynes, why people who move to Brackley tend to stay, I'm happy to talk through any of it.

If you miss me, give me a call or drop me an email. I'm always happy to chat.

Here's what's happening in the Brackley property market in June 2026.

Average sold prices are sitting at £332,972, that's 6% below the 2023 peak of £354,621. If you've been watching the market and waiting for the right moment, this is worth paying attention to.

Here's what that looks like by property type right now:
🏡 Detached: £453,102
🏠 Semi-detached: £318,369
🏘️ Terraced: £275,820

For context, the UK average is £268,000. Brackley sits £65,000 above that, not because of hype, but because of what this town offers: the Mercedes-AMG F1 headquarters on our doorstep, Magdalen College School, the M40 ten minutes away, and a community that people genuinely don't want to leave.

The 2023 peak was £354,621. We're 6% below it. The development pipeline, including 700 new homes approved earlier this year and a £70m Mercedes expansion bringing 500 new jobs, points in one direction.

I'm not in the business of telling people what they want to hear. But right now, Brackley looks like a genuinely good place to be buying or selling.



If you want to know what your home is worth in today's market, not an inflated number to win your business, an honest one, get in touch.

More than 1 in 4 homes listed in Brackley between October to March, are still sitting unsold.

That's not bad luck. There are real, identifiable reasons why some properties stall and most of them are fixable.

From what I'm seeing on the ground, the main culprits are:

❗️Overpricing from the start: The market is more price-sensitive than it was two years ago, and buyers are doing their homework

❗️Poor presentation: First impressions online are everything now; weak photos and tired interiors are costing sellers viewings

❗️Wrong agent fit: Some homes just aren't being marketed with the right strategy for their type or price point

❗️Buyer confidence: With mortgage rates where they are, buyers are cautious and need reassurance to commit

❗️No clear plan: Sellers without a properly considered onward move are often causing delays that push buyers away

If your home has been on the market for a while without the right result, it doesn't mean it won't sell. It means something needs to change.

I offer a straight-talking, no-obligation conversation, not a sales pitch. With nearly 30 years as a financial adviser before moving into property, I look at your situation differently to a traditional agent.

Drop me a message, or call me directly on 07802 236188. Let's have an honest conversation about what's really going on.

Big agency = better results? Not necessarily.

Independent estate agents consistently outperform national chains, and here's why it matters when you're selling your home.

✅ You deal with the same person start to finish
✅ No corporate scripts or rigid processes
✅ Genuine local expertise, not a call centre
✅ Flexible approach built around your needs

I've been helping people make sound decisions for nearly 30 years and I give clients an honest picture of the market, realistic expectations on price, and the kind of joined-up thinking that protects your biggest asset.

Independent doesn't mean small. It means focused, accountable, and genuinely on your side.

Selling in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, or Oxfordshire? I'd love to help.

Thinking of selling your home, or know someone who is?

Let's be honest. Estate agents don't always have the best reputation, and some of it is deserved.

Too many sellers experience: being handed between multiple members of staff, receiving inflated valuations to win the instruction, and pressure to accept the first offer that comes in.

Independent agents don't operate that way, or at least, the good ones don't.

Working independently means I can be straight with clients.

On price.
On timescales.
On what a sale actually involves.

My background as an IFA for nearly 30 years means financial honesty is built into how I work, not something I have to think about.

If you're looking for honest, continued support from start to finish, I'm always open to a conversation.

I want to be straight with you.

Right now, 35% of homes on the market have had their price cut, in the South East it's 39%, East Midlands, 35.3%.

This is not a weak market, it’s a reflection of sellers who started too high, finding out too late.

Every time supply rises and buyers get more choice, the same thing happens, homes that were "close enough on price" end up sitting on Rightmove for months.

The good news? Correctly priced homes are still selling and the data is clear on that.

Honest advice, given before a home goes to market (not after it's been sitting for three months) is what I've always believed in. It's what nearly 30 years as an Independent Financial Adviser taught me, and it's how I work now.

If you're thinking of selling this spring, I would welcome an honest conversation.

Did you know that not every property for sale actually appears on Rightmove or Zoopla? 🏡

If you've been searching online and can't find what you're looking for, it might not be that the right home doesn't exist. It might just not be visible yet.

I work with a network of buyers and sellers across Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, which means I sometimes have access to properties that never make it onto the portals at all.

If you're looking for something specific and coming up short online, it's worth a conversation. You might be closer to finding your next home than you think.

Ever felt like selling your home should be simpler than it is? 🏡

Same person from start to finish. Someone who actually knows your property, knows your situation, and is there every step of the way, from the first valuation right through to handing over the keys.

That's how I work.

I'm Neil, an independent estate agent covering Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Before I moved into property, I spent 30 years as a financial adviser. So when I talk about realistic valuations, honest advice and keeping you informed throughout, I mean it.

No being passed around. No chasing people for updates. Just one person, fully invested in getting your home sold.

If you're thinking about selling or just want to know what your home is worth in this market, drop me a message. Happy to have a no-pressure chat. 😊

📊 March market update: What's happening in our local property market?

Nationally, more homes came to market in March than at almost any point in the last year. Over 204,000 new listings across Great Britain. But here's the thing, sales actually fell.

Which means buyers have more choice, and they're using it.

In our area, the picture reflects that:
Northamptonshire (East Midlands) is converting just 48 in every 100 listings to a sale.

Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire (South East) are similar, with nearly 4 in 10 listings having their price reduced.

Nationally, the average home on the market has been there for 155 days, and 35% of listings have already been reduced.

The good news? The market is still moving. Buyers are still buying. But they're choosing carefully and pricing is the single biggest factor in whether a home sells or stalls.

If you're thinking about putting your home on the market this spring, I'd love to have a chat about what this means for you specifically.

No pressure, just a straight conversation.
