With only a few weeks to go before the end of the year, as a Shepperton estate and letting agent, I wanted to share what has happened in both the UK and Shepperton property markets in 2025, analysing the trends for Shepperton homeowners, home buyers and landlords alike… and then compare them to previous years.

Some homes in Shepperton fly off the market within weeks. Others sit for months, attract only a handful of viewings, then quietly disappear from the portals, unsold. The difference isn’t luck, it’s sellability.

The new annual surcharge on homes over £2m has been positioned as a targeted, progressive measure, yet this is overwhelmingly a London and South East tax. Outside those areas, the proportion of £2m homes barely registers.

The Autumn Budget delivered the expected changes to housing and taxation, although the impact will be felt more in sentiment than in immediate cost.
