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.
