Q1 2026 Burnley market update

Burnley's first quarter of 2026 has been quietly positive — volumes up, prices steady, and rental demand strong enough that we're turning away tenants in BB10.

Sales

We listed 142 properties between January and March, up from 130 in the same quarter last year (+9%). Time-to-sale averaged 38 days against an asking-to-agreed ratio of 97%. The strongest segment was three-bed terraces at £140k–£170k, where buyer demand consistently outstrips supply.

Lettings

Yields in BB10 and BB11 are holding at 6.2% on average — slightly down from 6.4% in Q4 2025, but still well ahead of the national average. Two-bed apartments in central Burnley are the standout: 14 days average to let, multiple applications.

Looking ahead

Q2 typically sees the spring uplift, and registered buyer numbers are 22% higher than this time last year. If you're considering a sale, the market backdrop is favourable — get in touch for a free valuation.
