While headlines across the UK often focus on interest rate uncertainty, inflation pressures, and the cost-of-living squeeze, the property market along the south coast continues to surprise. Our 9 branches at Jeffries & Dibbens are reporting a remarkably buoyant market – proof that local dynamics can defy national gloom.
Strong buyer demand
Demand for homes remains solid. Our branches are consistently seeing well-qualified buyers eager to secure the right property, particularly in popular family areas and sought-after coastal locations. Realistic pricing and motivated sellers are keeping transactions moving at a healthy pace.
A balanced market for movers
One of the standout features of the current climate is the balance between supply and demand. While some regions of the UK are struggling with a shortage of listings, Jeffries & Dibbens’ network is experiencing a steady flow of properties coming to market. This creates opportunities for both first-time buyers and those looking to upsize or downsize, making the moving process smoother than in the frenetic post-lockdown years. We have enjoyed growth in our market share, attracting buyers to one of the largest portfolios in the area.
Resilience rooted in local confidence
Economic headwinds have not dampened the south coast’s appeal. The area’s diverse housing stock, strong transport links, and vibrant communities continue to attract interest from across the country. Many buyers are also taking a long-term view, recognising that property remains one of the most stable investments, even when the wider economy is unpredictable.
Looking ahead
