Sellers are coming up against an increasing amount of competition in the Telford area across a variety of property types. The number of detached and terraced houses on the market has jumped by 13% and 15% respectively in the year to August 2025, which could be making it more difficult for buyers to make purchase decisions.
Property Consultant at The Property Buying Company, Chris Atkins, gives us his thoughts on the market at the moment:
“Buyers in the Telford area are becoming increasingly spoiled for choice, so it seems that sellers might be forced to think about their competition and reduce asking prices as a result.
A recent update to Zoopla’s House Price Index revealed that cutting asking prices of houses is actually slowing down sales—those that had their figures slashed are taking 2.4 times longer to sell across the UK—so it’s a risky game in an already challenging housing market.”

Here’s an idea of what’s affecting the housing market in Telford today:
The significant increase in the number of properties entering the market in Telford could lead to supply-and-demand issues if the buyers aren’t there. The average time on market decreased year-on-year across various property types, but not by enough to suggest a complete trend shift.
❌ The bad news: Sellers of detached and terraced houses could be made to wait for longer to sell if they are competing with more and more people.
✔ The good news: We can buy from you right away, so there’s no need to wait for a sale that could take months on the open market.
ONS data shows that average house prices in Telford and Wrekin only increased by 1.5% in the year to June 2025, which was lower than the wider West Midlands area at 3.5%. This could suggest that there isn’t quite as much competition from buyers pushing prices up in the area.
❌ The bad news: Sellers can’t predict what buyers are going to do and could face longer waits for average house prices to increase at the same rate as the surrounding areas.
✔ The good news: You can still sell quickly for up to 80% of the market value of your home to The Property Buying Company, removing the need to wait for the right buyer on the open market.

Whether you have spent months on the open market yourself or you are a bit hesitant to put your house up for sale because of the horror stories you’ve heard from others in the Telford area, you’ll be pleased to know there are quicker solutions.
One alternative to marketing your house via estate agents is to put it up for sale in a local Telford property auction. This might sound a bit daunting at first, but it’s a route that’s helped many people offload their house quickly and efficiently over the years. You can simply search for something like ‘property auction telford’ or choose an online auction site instead to get started.
The downsides of selling via an auction are that you’ll probably lose more on fees and it can still take up to 10 weeks to arrange and complete the sale. A good way around that is to sell to a cash buyer, which will help you avoid any fees altogether.
If you choose a cash buyer like The Property Buying Company, you can also get the sale done in a matter of days instead of weeks or months. Here’s how your options stack up for selling your Telford property:
Selling at an auction | Selling with The Property Buying Company | Selling via estate agents | |
---|---|---|---|
YOU PAY | £2.5k-5k | £0 | £1k-5k |
AVERAGE SALE TIME> | 6-10 weeks | 2-3 weeks | 16-52 weeks |
