As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

Southend-on-Sea continues to stand out in the UK property market, featuring among England’s fastest-selling areas. With strong demand, coastal appeal, and excellent commuter links to London, homes here are securing offers quickly, reflecting the town’s growing popularity with buyers.
