What’s the housing market in Preston like in 2025?

According to data from Home.co.uk, both detached and semi-detached houses spent 10% and 16% longer on the market respectively in 2025 than the previous year. Buyers were presented with less choice throughout the year, too, with the total numbers sold for each property type dropping by 48% and 28% year-on-year.

A similar story panned out for flats as well, with only nine properties reported as sold during that timeframe, which was half of the number sold in 2024. Flats spent far longer on the market (288 days) than other property types, so sellers have seemingly been facing an uphill battle to get rid of their houses or flats in recent times.

Across the North West, there was a similar story in 2025—flats in both Manchester and Liverpool spent an average of 258 days on the market, showing a lesser appetite from buyers on the open market in the region.

Raphael Kaye, a Property Consultant Manager at The Property Buying Company, shared his insights on Preston’s market:

Here are a couple of the factors impacting the housing market in Preston in 2025: 

Rental market possibly attracting more investors

The ONS reported a staggering 8.9% yearly increase in rent for private properties in Preston in 2025, which was a quicker rate of increase than the whole North West region. This could be proving attractive to potential investors, who will look to capitalise on the increased yield in the city.

❌ The bad news: Sellers might be bombarded with lowball offers from investors who want to buy up property with potential in the area. 

✔ The good news: The Property Buying Company can offer a fair price and even cover legal fees for would-be house sellers, making the whole process a breeze.

Ongoing need for more housing might push up average prices

After Preston City Council’s report in December 2024 illustrated a need for 441 new homes a year, one can expect future developments in the city. This could attract new buyers to the area and push up average house prices as a result. 

❌ The bad news: Sellers who want to sell now might be made to wait for new developments in the city before they see a marked difference in house prices. 

✔ The good news: The Property Buying Company can offer you a fair price right now to sell your home—you can avoid lengthy waits as well as legal fees with us.

If you are looking to make a quick sale on your house, selling to a cash buyer company like us can help you make it as straightforward as possible. You can sell within a matter of days if you want to and free yourself of the dread of a collapsed chain—just get in touch with your Preston postcode below to get your free cash offer. 

How to sell your house quickly in Preston

While most people choose to sell via an estate agent on the open market, it’s not the only route available for selling your house fast in Preston. In fact, it’s not the cheapest, nor is it the quickest—you might stand a better chance of selling your property to a cash buyer or at an auction instead. 

There are similar fees to pay, whether you sell with an estate agent and a solicitor or at a local property auction, but the difference is at its starkest in the timeframes—you might wait up to a year to find the right buyer on the market, but you might get it all done in a few weeks at auction (exchange actually happens on the day of the successful auction). 

Alternatively, you can sell to a cash buyer in just a couple of weeks and avoid fees altogether—we’ll even cover your legal fees if you choose The Property Buying Company.

The market was looking a little better for sellers in 2025 if we take ONS data at face value. Typical house prices rose by 5.7% to £190,000 in the year to September, so homeowners have been able to get more for their properties upon completion. This rise was actually higher than that of the North West region on the whole, too.

By comparison, Rightmove’s data, which comes from HM Land Registry, reported a 1% drop in average value over the past year—the overall average came out at £192,382. Semi-detached homes went for an average of £202,000, while terraced houses sold for £127,417, so buyers have had plenty of choice this year.

Our point here is that it’s important to check various sources to see what your house might be worth when you’re thinking about selling in Preston. If you want to sell on the open market, keep an eye on similar properties in the market so you know how buyers are behaving from month to month. If you want to sell to a cash buyer, though, you can negate the need for all that research and get a free cash offer within hours.
