House prices to keep growing in 2025

House prices are expected to stay on a positive trajectory over the course of 2025*.

House prices returned to growth in 2024, with prices increasing by 1.5% in the 12 months to October – an improvement on -1.2% the year before. The average UK house price is £267,000 and is expected to rise by 2.5% in 2025. Meanwhile, sales agreed are expected to increase by 5% to 1.15 million.

Promisingly, all regions and countries in the UK recorded positive annual house price growth in 2024, with Northern Ireland (6.3%) and North West England (2.9%) leading the way. In southern England, growth is still below 1% due to continuing affordability challenges.
