Thinking of Selling? Here’s What You Need to Know About the Property Market

At Mannleys Sales & Lettings, we speak with homeowners across Telford and Shropshire every day who are thinking about selling — but aren’t quite sure if now is the right time. If that sounds like you, here’s some insight that may help you feel more confident about your next move.

📍 Local Confidence Remains High


Telford and the wider Shropshire area continue to attract strong buyer interest, particularly among families and professionals relocating from larger cities in search of more space, better value, and a fantastic quality of life. Well-presented properties in desirable areas such as Wellington, Ironbridge, and Shifnal are still commanding impressive attention.

🏡 Supply Is Still Playing Catch-Up


While the national market has had its ups and downs, locally we’re still seeing a shortage of good-quality homes coming onto the market. This puts sellers in a strong position. With fewer competing listings, your home is more likely to stand out and attract motivated buyers — especially if it's priced correctly and marketed well.

🔍 Buyers Are More Informed Than Ever


Today’s buyers are doing their homework. They’re looking for value, but also convenience — proximity to transport, schools, and green space all make a big difference. At Mannleys, we help sellers highlight these lifestyle benefits to position their property more competitively.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

At Mannleys Sales & Lettings, we are committed to ensuring every tenant enjoys a safe, healthy, and well-maintained home. The upcoming reforms in the Renters’ Rights Bill – Awaab’s Law and the updated Decent Homes Standard – will be transformative for the private rented sector, and for letting agents and landlords alike.

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.

It’s every landlord’s worst nightmare – a tenant who stops paying rent. Missed payments can quickly impact your cash flow, create stress, and, if not handled correctly, lead to lengthy disputes.
