Bicester enters 2026 with stable pricing, consistent buyer interest and a market that continues to reward realism over risk. If you’re planning a move this year, here is what’s really happening on the ground.

If you listened to the doom merchants, you would think first-time buyers (FTB) in Pinner had no chance at all. According to the loudest voices, buying a first home is impossible, the ladder has been pulled up, and the only people who buy their first homes today are lottery winners or those with wealthy parents.

As we enter a new year, many local homeowners are facing a familiar question. Should they bring their Tadley home to market in January, or wait until the late spring?

No new viewings. No clear updates. Just silence. You’re still on the market, but it’s starting to feel like you’re in limbo.
