When you look back at the average rents achieved in Tadley over the last five years, from 2021 through to 2025, a clear pattern emerges.

As 2025 ends, the UK property market shows caution and optimism. December saw average new seller asking prices fall 1.8% to £358,138, leaving them 0.6% below 2024.

Blackwater’s market has entered the year in a steady, confident rhythm. Homes are selling, buyers are engaged, and mortgages are moving but the pace is calm, not frantic. In today’s market, its timing, competition and realistic pricing that make the difference.
