What’s new: May – July 2025
Here’s the latest round-up of initiatives against each of our four focus areas, to help you to get the most from your membership to support your success.
Inspire your success with insight
Access to market data, industry insight and consumer behaviour trends to help you stay up to date and ahead of the curve.
- July’s House Price Index: Price is key as sellers compete for buyers as average asking prices dropped 1.2% in July while demand increased 6%
- Q2 Rental Price Tracker: Rents reach another new record and we’re seeing the best balance in supply and demand for five years.
- In June’s House Price Index we uncovered that properties which receive an enquiry on the first day of marketing are 22% more likely to find a buyer than homes which take more than 2 weeks to receive their first enquiry – making your pricing expertise more important than ever.
- At Propertymark One, we shared exclusive insights collected from our research event with Letting Agents and Landlords alongside large-scale lettings and sales surveys
- The energy price cap fell by 7% in July – read what that means for homeowners and renters here
- The base rate was cut to 4.25% in May, then held in June as inflation remained unchanged from the previous month, at 3.4%

Backing agents’ success with advocacy
Understanding and advocating on your behalf on the issues that matter to you
- As part of our ambition to help tackle the common misconceptions about agents, in June we launched Game Changers, celebrating the hard work and skill agents across the nation demonstrate daily to keep the nation moving. The campaign has been seen over 14.7m times, driving a 5% increase in trust with agents from potential movers
- We’re backing Andrews Property Group’s campaign for Stamp Duty reform, asking the government to allow movers the option to spread the cost of Stamp Duty over several years
- We’ve also asked the government to review the Stamp Duty thresholds to reflect the increase in average house prices since the current thresholds were put in place
- We’re sharing videos from agents who told us that success to them means family, happiness and helping others. Watch them here and uncover new ways to use your Rightmove membership to unlock more success, whatever that means to you
- As part of our partnership with Women in Estate Agency (WiEA), we’ve joined the WiEA Charter, committing to support training and development of women within Rightmove, as well as the wider industry
