With only a few weeks to go before the end of the year, as a Lincoln estate and letting agent, I wanted to share what has happened in both the UK and Lincoln property markets in 2025, analysing the trends for Lincoln homeowners, home buyers and landlords alike… and then…
Some homes in Lincoln fly off the market within weeks. Others sit for months, attract only a handful of viewings, then quietly disappear from the portals, unsold. The difference isn’t luck, it’s Saleability. Would it surprise you that of the 10.94 million homes that have left UK estate agents books…
