The UK property market has been through its ups and downs recently, leaving many wondering what’s next. Are house prices going to crash, recover, or stabilise? At UK Homes Network, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the trends, and we’re here to share predictions for the property market in 2025.
Spoiler alert: there’s good news on the horizon!
What’s Happening in the UK Property Market?
Over the past couple of years, the housing market has felt like a rollercoaster. In 2023, house prices started to dip after a steep rise during the pandemic. By early 2024, the average house price had dropped to £280,673, according to the UK House Price Index. But things have started looking up!
In March 2024, prices rose slightly to £282,776, and mortgage approvals in April showed a growing demand, with an average price of £261,962. Experts, including Savills and Knight Frank, now predict steady growth as we head toward 2025.
Property Market Predictions for 2025
1. House Prices Set to Rise
According to recent forecasts:
- By mid-2025, house prices are expected to increase by 3.6%, reaching £292,838.
- By December 2025, they could grow by 6.3%, with the average home costing £300,559.
This recovery is great news for homeowners and property investors, showing that the UK property market is resilient, even when times are tough.
2. Is It a Good Time to Buy or Sell?
If you’re thinking of buying or selling property, timing is everything. With house prices expected to rise, buyers may want to act sooner rather than later to lock in current prices. On the flip side, sellers could benefit from waiting until late 2025 for higher valuations.
3. Rental Market on the Rise
The rental market is also thriving, particularly in cities like Manchester, London, and Birmingham, where demand continues to outstrip supply. Experts predict annual rent growth of 3–4% through 2026. If you’re a landlord or planning to invest in buy-to-let properties, now might be a good time to check the local market rents.
