March was a standout month, with many movers making the most of the opportunity to complete transactions ahead of the stamp duty changes. The good news is, the overall outlook remains really positive for anyone considering a move now.

The market is buzzing with activity and that’s no surprise, as spring is always a popular time to move. The weather starts to improve, there’s more natural light to show off a home, and longer evenings make it easier to arrange viewings.

We’re not just seeing a rise in sales, there’s been a boost in viewings, valuations and enquiries across all our branches. More people are putting their homes on the market, which means more choice for buyers. And many of those sellers are also looking for their next home, which keeps everything moving. 

In lettings, since launching our management service for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), we’ve had some brilliant results. More landlords are choosing DB Roberts to manage their portfolios. With all the regulations and compliance involved, many landlords are turning to us to take the stress away – so they can relax, knowing everything’s in safe hands.

We’ve also had some positive mortgage news from our in-house experts at Severn Mortgage and Protect, who are part of the Mortgage Advice Bureau.

While headlines are dominated by talk of Donald Trump’s tariffs and their potential impact, the UK mortgage market could be heading in a more encouraging direction. Rob Brookes, their Business Principal, has shared that we might start to see some movement in interest rates, with potential reductions in the coming months.

Rob’s recorded a video breaking down what this news could mean for you and the benefits of speaking to a mortgage advisor, whether you are making a move or reviewing your current deal.
