Positive Market Outlook for Wimbledon Property in 2025, Says Rightmove

For those interested in buying or selling a property in Wimbledon, London SW19, Rightmove has shared an encouraging forecast for the property market in 2025. Their latest data points to a modest rise in house prices, stable mortgage rates, and potential rate cuts in the coming year, indicating a positive environment for residential transactions, writes Zah Azeem, Partner at Wimbledon based, Chartered Surveyors, Scrivener Tibbatts and a specialist in Professional Property Valuations.

Rightmove, the online property portal which is a FTSE 250 listed company, has updated its own revenue guidance for 2024 to approximately £390 million, forecasting 7 – 9% growth. The company also anticipates that its average revenue per advertiser (ARPA) will increase by £85-£95 over 2023’s £1,431 level, fuelled by stronger residential property sales.

The market is showing signs of recovery with more new build development projects starting on-site, which could further support growth in 2025.

With optimism returning, Rightmove’s outlook suggests an increasingly favourable property market landscape for Wimbledon and surrounding areas next year. I recently looked back at the trends over the last five years in our local market in this article, which might also be of interest if you’re considering buying or selling a property in Wimbledon next year.
