Bournemouth Property Market Update – September 2025

Interest Rates Remain Steady

The Bank of England has maintained the base rate at 4%, keeping mortgage costs stable for buyers. This helps confidence, although many buyers are taking longer to commit, waiting for the right property at the right price.

Autumn Budget – November 26th

The Autumn Budget is set for 26 November 2025. While property-related tax changes are possible, no announcements have been made yet. Sellers may benefit from acting now, before any new policies take effect.

Bournemouth Market Outlook for Sellers

• House Prices: Average property values remain steady at £322,000.
• Time on Market: Homes are taking around 15 weeks to sell.
