Leasehold Flats Face Slow Sales Across England

Data from Zoopla indicates that 80.5% of leasehold flats listed for sale in England in 2025 remain unsold after six months. London has the highest rate, with 87% of such properties still on the market after this period.

The report notes that pricing mismatches between investors and first-time buyers are contributing to the stagnation in the market. This trend may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring demand and turnover in the leasehold flat sector.
