AUTUMN 2025
Residential market activity is slowly beginning to bounce back toward normal levels following the April 1st stamp duty changes. However, two factors: general economic uncertainty and global geopolitical concerns, are slightly dampening the market and restraining growth. The primary constraint is stretched affordability, as wage growth has lagged behind house price increases over the last 5-10 years. Nevertheless, buyer demand remains resilient. Given the expectation of at least one more interest rate cut in the next 6-12 months, we forecast consistent sales and price growth at a more sustainable rate of 1.5-2.5% in 2026.
The average property price in Marlborough currently stands at just over £407,000. While a 6.5% decline in average pricing may appear significant, it's important to recognise that the area is characterised by strong price volatility. This means that the sale of a few unique, high-value (or lower-value) properties can disproportionately influence the average, masking the underlying stability and positive demand in the market.
When looking at Wiltshire as a whole property prices here have grown by nearly 2% over the year, with an average price of £323,065.
The strong property price increase in Wiltshire that followed the pandemic has now eased. Prices in the area grew by nearly 25% between 2020 and October 2022. Since reaching that October peak, however, prices have adjusted and are currently 3% lower.
