September delivered a notable surge in market activity, with an average of 81 new properties listed every day over the course of the month according to eXp UK.

The 2,431 homes listed with eXp UK in September was a 19% increase versus the total seen in August.

Adam Day, Head of eXp UK and Europe, said: “Summer is traditionally a slower period for the property market, and September often brings a post-holiday bounce as sellers return with renewed motivation. 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.”

Total instructions had fallen by 6% between July and August due to the normal seasonal decline. However, the daily average of 81 new listings in September was the highest daily level seen across each month so far in 2025.
