eXp UK has recorded a marked increase in market activity in September, with an average of 81 new properties listed each day. This represents the highest daily level of listings in any month so far in 2025.
A total of nearly 2,431 homes were listed with eXp UK during September, a 19% rise compared with August. The increase follows the typical summer slowdown, when total instructions fell by 6% between July and August.
The September daily average of 81 new listings not only exceeds the summer months but also surpasses every previous month this year. The prior peak for 2025 was 72 new instructions per day, recorded in both May and June.
“Summer is traditionally a slower period for the property market, and September often brings a post-holiday bounce as sellers return with renewed motivation,” said Adam Day, head of eXp UK and Europe. “However, what is particularly striking this year is that the listings activity seen over September hasn’t just outpaced the summer lull, it has exceeded every month of 2025 to date.
“On the buyers’ side, things remain somewhat muted as many wait for the dust to settle around the upcoming Autumn Budget, particularly with whisperings of a potential Stamp Duty shake-up.
“However, it’s clear that many sellers are already preparing for a possible post-Budget uplift in buyer demand, getting their homes onto the market now in anticipation of increased appetites during the final months of the year.”
