Spennymoor’s South Durham location keeps drawing steady interest — Central’s market town revival, Tudhoe’s family streets & green spaces, Merrington’s village charm, plus Kirk Merrington, Ferryhill, Chilton and Byers Green.

Pitfalls to avoid in early 2026:
- Waiting for “spring bounce” — many sellers in 2025 waited, only to face more interest charges and no meaningful price recovery
- Believing high-street agents’ optimistic valuations — inflated prices = long time on market + forced reductions = weakest negotiating position
- Auction without understanding real costs/risks — many Spennymoor auction lots now achieving 12–20% below guide
