Flats vs Houses… and the gap is bigger than many people realise.

Across almost every region of the UK, houses are significantly more likely to sell than flats.

A few examples:

📍 Inner London
Flats: 31.61%
Houses: 48.36%

📍 North West
Flats: 44.17%
Houses: 64.12%

📍 East of England
Flats: 44.93%
Houses: 53.08%

And Scotland? The outlier.

It’s the only part of the UK where flats actually outperform houses when it comes to selling.

So what does this really tell us?

Not that flats are “bad” investments or somehow broken.

It shows that buyer demand has become more selective.

Flats often rely on a narrower buyer pool and are more affected by affordability, service charges, lending criteria, and changing buyer priorities. When the market tightens, they tend to feel it first.

But the key point is this:

There is no single “UK flat market”.

Every town, every street, every development behaves differently.

And here in Sawbridgeworth and Bishop’s Stortford, local strategy matters far more than national headlines.

Because if you’re thinking of moving, the most important thing is not what the UK market is doing… it’s understanding how your specific home fits into your local market.

That starts with realistic pricing, smart positioning, and a strategy designed to help you actually move.

This beautifully presented two-bedroom home is now one step closer to completion.

A great property, but more importantly, another move progressing for some brilliant clients.

That’s always the best part.

Helping people move, guiding them through the process, and making things happen when it matters.

We genuinely love being part of that journey 👏

The UK property market hasn’t stopped… it’s just become smarter. 🏡

Despite everything happening in the economy, the market has just recorded its strongest week for sales agreed in 45 weeks.

Buyers are still out there.
But they’re more selective, more informed, and far less willing to overpay.

The homes winning right now?
✅ Correctly priced
✅ Well presented
✅ Strategically marketed

The gap between the homes that sell and the homes that sit is growing wider every week.

If you’re thinking of moving in 2026, understanding today’s market has never been more important.

This riverside apartment at Lawrence Moorings is now one step closer to completion, and it’s been a great one to be part of.

Coming back to market can be unsettling for any seller, but with the right approach and the right buyer, things can move quickly again.

Moments like this are why we do what we do.

Helping people move, guiding them, and making a real difference when it matters most.

That’s what Muvin is all about.

Despite everything going on at home and abroad, the UK property market has just delivered its strongest week for sales agreed in 45 weeks.

📊 27,614 homes sold STC

That is not a market in retreat.
It is a market that has quietly been rebuilding momentum.

Buyers are still out there.
But they are more considered, more selective, and far less willing to chase overpriced homes.

And that’s the key shift.

Demand hasn’t disappeared.
It has sharpened.

And right now?

✔️ Priced right → it sells
❌ Priced wrong → it sits

The gap is growing.

If you are thinking of moving and want to understand how your home fits into the current market, now is the time to get informed.

UK Property Market, Week 16

More stock. Same buyers. And the gap is widening.

On the surface, things look steady.
Sales agreed have edged up again, and demand is still holding ahead of last year.

But underneath, the shift is becoming clearer.

New listings remain high. Over 40,000 this week alone.
Which means more competition for every seller.

And that’s where the real story sits.

Only 53.4% of homes are actually selling and completing.
Nearly half… are not.

This isn’t a market lacking buyers.
It’s a market where buyers are choosing carefully.

Pricing per square foot is holding firm.
Rents are steady.
Nothing is falling away.

But the difference between success and stagnation is getting sharper.

Because right now, being on the market…
is not the same as being in the market.

And in a market like this, it’s not about demand.

It’s about discipline

What does Sawbridgeworth and Bishop’s Stortford really look like… beyond house prices?

This map shows something different.

It highlights where four or more people are living under one roof: in simple terms, where larger households are more common.

And the pattern is interesting.

Some areas are clearly more family-driven, while others are made up of smaller households.

Why does that matter?

Because areas with more larger households tend to behave differently in the property market.

➡️ Stronger demand for family homes
➡️ More needs-driven moves
➡️ Different buying patterns altogether

It’s a reminder that this isn’t one single market.

It’s a collection of micro-markets, each shaped by the people living there.

And when it comes to selling, that local dynamic can make all the difference.

Another one completed 🎉

A stunning five-bedroom home on the outskirts of Sawbridgeworth is now officially sold, and what a journey it’s been.

But more importantly, the people behind it.

They were fantastic clients to work with from start to finish: open, trusting, and a real pleasure throughout the process. We genuinely loved helping them make their move.

Wishing them all the best for what’s next 👏
