The world’s horseracing capital sits 14 miles from Cambridge, with solid transport links, good schools and a property market that’s been quietly holding its own.
Average asking prices currently sit around £328,000. Three-bedroom homes are selling at roughly £333,000, four-bedroom properties closer to £579,000, and entry-level two-bedroom homes at around £243,000. Prices have moved up 6.7% over the past six months, and most properties are taking around 14 weeks to go under offer.
But figures only tell part of the story. Newmarket has genuine character that most Suffolk market towns don’t. The High Street is protected by Conservation Area status. The National Horseracing Museum sits inside Charles II’s old sporting palace. There are two racecourses, miles of open gallops to walk through, and a golf club with views over the heath. Direct rail to Cambridge and coach services to Heathrow and Stansted make the commute manageable without the city price tag.
For buyers, it’s a town where you can get considerably more for your money than in Cambridge while staying close enough to keep the connections. For sellers, demand comes from a broad pool: the international racing community, local families, and Cambridge commuters who’ve done the sums and worked out Newmarket makes sense.
Our Newmarket branch knows the streets, the schools and the streets to avoid. When a buyer asks whether a road floods or what the primary school catchment looks like, we can answer.

It's good value compared to Cambridge, which is just 14 miles away. The town has a range of well-rated schools, direct rail into Cambridge, coach links to Heathrow and Stansted, and a busy town centre with its own distinctive character. For buyers who want access to Cambridge without Cambridge prices, it makes a strong case.
Primary schools include Paddocks Primary School, Laureate Community Academy, Houldsworth Valley Primary Academy, All Saints Church of England Primary and St Louis Catholic Academy, all holding Good Ofsted ratings. Newmarket Academy is the local secondary, also rated Good following its most recent inspection. For higher education, Cambridge is a direct train ride away.
Yes. You'll need a conveyancer or solicitor for both buying and selling. If you don't already have one in mind, we can point you in the right direction.
Yes, and it should be an in-person valuation from someone who knows what's selling locally, not just an online estimate. Online tools are a useful starting point, but they don't account for condition, current demand or the specifics of your street. Book a free valuation with us and we'll give you a clear, realistic picture.
Yes. We handle sales across Newmarket and the surrounding villages. Search our current listings or speak to the branch directly and we'll let you know what's coming to market.
The racing industry gives Newmarket a more international buyer pool than most towns its size. That can work in a seller's favour, particularly for larger homes or properties near the gallops and historic centre. It also means the market has its own rhythm, and it helps to work with an agent who understands it.
Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or just want to know what your property is worth, the Newmarket branch is the right place to start. We’re based in the town, we know the streets, and we’ll give you a straight answer.
