With summer now in full swing, the Leamington Spa property market is offering a compelling picture for homeowners, buyers, and landlords alike.
As a town known for its Regency charm, green open spaces, and strong commuter links to Coventry, Birmingham and London, Leamington has long held its reputation as one of the West Midlands’ most desirable places to live. But what’s happening in the local market right now?
Whether you’re considering your next move or simply keeping an eye on what’s changing, our team at Martin & Co Leamington Spa has taken a closer look at current market activity—and what it could mean for you this summer.
What’s Happening in the Leamington Spa Market?
So far, 2025 has brought a welcome return to stability. After a few years of ups and downs in the wider UK housing landscape, Leamington Spa’s local market is showing confidence, with buyers returning and sellers adapting to new conditions.
Properties across the town have, on average, increased in value by around 3% year-on-year, according to recent data. The average sale price in central Leamington sits just over £430,000, with the surrounding areas – such as Whitnash and Lillington – offering more attainable price points for first-time buyers and investors.
We’re still seeing strong demand for well-presented family homes, particularly three- and four-bedroom semis and detached properties with parking, gardens, and modern layouts. Apartments – especially newer builds near the town centre or close to the station – remain popular with young professionals and those commuting into Warwick or further afield.
Buyer Activity: More Measured, But Still Motivated
One of the key themes this summer is buyer realism. Gone are the frenzied bidding wars of 2021–22. Instead, buyers are taking more time, doing their homework, and asking detailed questions about EPC ratings, running costs and the potential for future upgrades.
However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t ready to act. In fact, buyers who are financially prepared are moving quickly – especially for properties that are correctly priced and marketed well from day one.
At Martin & Co, we’re seeing a steady flow of pre-qualified buyers who are serious about moving, but they’re looking for homes that are move-in ready, energy-efficient, and ideally located near schools, green space or transport links.
Sellers: Presentation and Pricing Still Key
For sellers, the summer market offers real opportunity – but it does require the right strategy. Homes that are staged well, photographed professionally and priced in line with local comparables are seeing swift offers, sometimes within the first two weeks of listing.
Overpriced homes, on the other hand, are sitting on the market and being overlooked in favour of better-positioned alternatives. That’s why an accurate valuation—grounded in real, local data—is absolutely essential right now.
In Leamington Spa, we’re seeing the best results in areas like North Leamington, where homes with period features and access to parks or the town centre are commanding strong interest. But equally, modern estates in Warwick Gates and Heathcote are proving popular with families upgrading from smaller homes or flats.
Rental Market Update: Steady Demand, Strong Yields
Leamington Spa has long been known as a rental hotspot, and 2025 is no exception. Whether it’s professionals relocating for work in Warwickshire or students attending nearby universities, demand for quality rental accommodation remains consistent.
We’re seeing a slight upward pressure on rents – particularly for two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses – as more tenants prioritise energy efficiency and space to work from home.
For landlords, the key to staying competitive is ensuring that your property is well-maintained and meets modern tenant expectations, especially around insulation, appliances and décor. Homes with good EPC ratings (C or above) are increasingly attractive and tend to command better rents and longer tenancies.
If you’re considering letting your property, now is a great time to assess its position in the market – and we can help you benchmark its potential.
