Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or investing, Tewkesbury offers a unique mix of historic charm, riverside living, and modern convenience that continues to attract buyers and tenants alike. Here’s why selling or renting in Tewkesbury right now could work in your favour – and how to prepare your property for success.

Why Sell Your House in Tewkesbury?

Tewkesbury’s property market has seen steady demand thanks to its excellent location between Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Worcester. Buyers are drawn to:

  • Great transport links via the M5 and nearby train stations.

  • A historic market town feel with stunning architecture, including Tudor buildings and Tewkesbury Abbey.

  • Good schools and family-friendly amenities, making it a popular choice for families.

With strong buyer demand and fewer homes coming to market during autumn and winter, selling now could help your property stand out to achieve the best possible price.

Why Rent Out a Property in Tewkesbury?

The rental market in Tewkesbury is equally buoyant. Tenants are looking for quality homes in well-connected areas, and Tewkesbury ticks all the boxes. From young professionals working in Cheltenham or Gloucester, to families seeking a balance of community and convenience, the demand for rental homes is strong.

As a landlord, you’ll benefit from:

  • Steady rental yields in a growing commuter town.

  • Reliable demand from tenants seeking long-term lets.

  • Support from Michael Tuck Lettings, who will soon be operating locally to provide full management and tenant-finding services.

Tips for Selling or Renting Your Tewkesbury Property

1. Focus on Kerb Appeal

First impressions matter. Whether selling or renting, ensure the exterior looks tidy and welcoming. Fresh paint, a neat garden, and clear pathways go a long way.

2. Keep It Neutral

Neutral décor appeals to a wider audience. A fresh coat of paint and clutter-free rooms make it easier for buyers or tenants to imagine themselves in the property.

3. Highlight Key Features

Does your home have period charm, a large garden, or riverside views? Make these selling points stand out in photos and viewings.

4. Stage for the Season

In autumn and winter, maximise light and warmth. Use brighter bulbs, open curtains fully, and add soft furnishings to create a homely feel.

5. Work with Local Experts

Choosing an estate agent who understands the Tewkesbury market is essential. With our new office, Michael Tuck brings decades of Gloucestershire expertise directly into the heart of Tewkesbury.

Hear what our clients have to say...

We have used Michael Tuck for both Lettings and Sales, and they have always been professional and efficient. In particular, Miles Pledger was instrumental in getting our recent, very difficult sale over the line. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

highly recommended!

Richard Spence

I’ve used Micheal Tuck in Gloucester for both purchase and selling in the last three years. The service was always professional, Miles Pledger especially handled both sales really well.

Glyn Cairns

Michael Tuck Lettings in Quedgeley have managed our rental property for the past 11+ years.

During this time their professionalism has never dropped. In the early days, Ian, Graham and Vikki-Lee were a huge help to a novice landlord. I’m pleased to say they are still there with a helping hand. Claire has always been the nudge I needed for the necessary insurance and safety checks. Having had some difficult times over the past couple of years I would like to say a special thank you to Lianne who has been there to help wherever she could.

We are in the process of selling the property and as expected Miles and Otis are dealing with everything with Tucks usual professionalism.

I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely, friendly office.

Linda Parker

I cannot recommend Michael Tuck Estate Agents enough.

They were so professional and so prompt with their communication. In particular we would like to mention Charlie for his regular updates and extremely helpful service in the sale of my mothers house. We were in a particularly long chain, and he went over and above to assist us in the communications between the buyers and sellers in order for our chain to proceed. He even contacted Solicitors and helped progress the exchange.

“We are certain if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have sold our house! We cannot thank him and his team enough.”

Kelly Durkin

Miles has gone above and beyond to ensure buying our first house has been a smooth process. He has offered clarification and reassurance at all steps of the journey, making us feel like valued clients.

“We would recommend Michael Tuck Estate Agents.”

Hollie Blunt

Michael Tuck New Homes in Gloucester assisted us selling three phases of our development in Kingsway, Gloucester.

“All of the staff were very professional and knowledgeable sales people who represented our company as if it were their own.”

If we were to need help selling our homes in the Gloucester ara again they would be the first phone call i’d make.

Stephen Holbrook. Abbey Homes

Tony and John, Abbeymead branch, supported us during very difficult circumstances (and we don’t just mean Covid!)

The same applies to other staff when answering queries etc.

“They were unfailingly courteous and returned phone calls and emails promptly.”

David Duncan

I have been a customer of Michael Tuck Lettings in Abbeymead for coming up to 2 years now.

I would like to highlight Kurt and James for there forever ending support and excellent communication. Their joint efforts have filled me with confidence in the ability to keep my family safe in a home we love.

No matter the complexity or need they are always on hand to support and come to some form of reasonable resolution.

For this reason I would recommend Michael Tuck to all my family and friends and will hopefully continue to stay a customer of Michaels Tucks until I purchase my own home. Thank you

“Being a contact centre manager I know how important customer service is and I must say that Michael Tuck has not disappointed.”

Jay Preece

Miles and the team have been brilliant from start to finish during the sale of our house.

Miles especially went above and beyond with sales chasing when I think most other people would have probably given up! Really happy with the service.

“Such a friendly and professional team and nothing was too much trouble.”

Anna England

I was recommended Michael Tuck Estate Agents in Abbeymead by a friend, thank you friend!

I would like to say a big thank you and well done to the team who are very friendly, helpful and have taken the strain out of what was a fairly long house sale.

Special thanks go to Chloe and Tony for their positivity and Chloe thank you for your good humour which lifted me during the long process!

“I would highly recommend them for a first class service”
