As we bring 2025 to a close, we look back on what has been a challenging year, starting with the changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax on the 1st April, which had a profound effect on the traditional spring housing market.

The date of the Autumn Budget was announced in the summer. With various suggestions of what the Chancellor of the Exchequer might implement, nervousness in the market allowed potential buyers to pause before making their decision to move home.

Despite the uncertainty, the team at Philip Booth Esq estate agents has excelled this year. According to Rightmove data analysis, in 2025 no other estate agent in Henley has agreed more property sales than Philip Booth Esq, beating some of the biggest names in the industry.

Analysing Rightmove market data, taking in all the RG9 postcodes (the greater Henley area), between the price ranges of £0 - £3,000,000, which is the core market for properties in the Henley-on-Thames area, Philip Booth Esq sits proudly at the top of the league table.
