Reading Property Market Update - January 2025
As we step into January 2025, the Reading property market continues to demonstrate resilience and adaptability in the face of changing economic conditions. The average property price in Reading saw a modest increase of 1.5% compared to November 2024, bringing the average to £345,000.
Year-on-year, this reflects a substantial rise of 6.8% from January 2024, indicating a strong demand for homes in our vibrant community. Several factors are influencing these numbers: the local job market remains robust, attracting new residents, while interest rates have stabilized, encouraging buyers to take the plunge into homeownership. Additionally, the ongoing investment in local amenities and infrastructure continues to enhance Reading's appeal.
Looking ahead, I anticipate a dynamic year for the Reading property market, particularly as spring approaches and more homeowners consider listing their properties. This period typically sees an uptick in buyer activity, which will be heightened this year due to the Stamp Duty changes from April.
As an independent estate agent and local family man, I pride myself on understanding the unique needs of our community. My forward-thinking approach to technology allows me to effectively target more buyers than anyone else in the area, ensuring that your property stands out in a competitive market. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply explore your options, I am here to guide you through every step of the process with personalised service and expertise.
If you're considering entering the market this year, let's connect and discuss how I can help you achieve your property goals!

Service your boiler
Regular maintenance of your boiler is crucial for ensuring it runs efficiently and safely. December is the most common month for boiler breakdowns, making early January the ideal time to have it serviced. If you haven’t serviced your boiler in years, you may find your home insurance won’t cover repairs or replacements. Some policies offer boiler coverage, but it often needs to be added as an extra.
Check and seal the roof
After stormy winter weather, roof tiles and slates can become damaged or missing. Check your roof for any issues and seal any gaps or cracks as soon as possible to avoid leaks. Preventing water damage early can save you costly repairs and keep your home insurance intact.

"Having a home in a location which matched the lifestyle I envisioned was a priority for me:
- Close enough to the train station so I could roll out of bed late, and still have time to grab a coffee and make my train on time.
- Easy and quick access to the airport for early mornings and late-night work trips and personal get-aways.
- Enjoy the liveliness of being in the town centre with the variety of activities on my doorstep and yet still have access to the stillness of nature nearby
- Have instant access to the variety of restaurants to leisurely eat and explore while still having the convenience to do last minute takeaways for late work nights, last minute cravings and lazy nights in.
- It was important that my home became my sanctuary where it was:
- Big enough to host the people closest to me so we could create memories together yet small enough to make cleaning up quick and hassle-free.
- Private enough to enjoy peace and tranquillity on the days I needed rest, yet close enough to people for me to still feel connected to a community.
- Sunny enough to feel the winter sun on my face while relaxing in the mornings yet cozy enough to enjoy stormy nights in with a warm drink and a good movie, bringing the chilled vibes.
This flat offers endless possibilities to shape it into exactly what you need it to be and has allowed me to enjoy the best of both worlds: experiencing a lively, fast paced lifestyle whilst also having a more peaceful and slower one when needed. I truly hope the next owner(s) create unforgettable memories and enjoy building this into their sanctuary as much as I have!"

Bringing a Taste of France to Reading
"After cheffing for 20 years in Restaurants, I decided to share a little slice of France. So since 2019, I have started baking cakes and pastries just like my mother and grandmother used to do when I was a kid. So the Wolseley street Bakery was born from the comfort of my home.
2024 brought a new chapter to this beautiful journey, where I moved the bakery out of my home into a commercial premises. This is also a shop front for you to just come up, have a coffee and see what I will have ready for you."
