Homes rising in value

Recent research has found that half of UK homes increased in value last year.

According to Zoopla, 15.2 million properties gained value by an average of £9,900 in 2025. Within this group, 3.1 million homes saw particularly strong growth, rising by more than £20,000. In contrast, 9.1 million households saw a decrease in value by an average of £10,800.

In England, the North West recorded the highest proportion of homes rising in value (72%), followed by the North East (67%). The South West reported the largest share of homes losing value (46%), closely followed by the South East (44%).

Despite some areas dropping in value, the longer-term picture is more positive for households across the UK; between 2020-2025, the average seller saw their house increase in value by an average of 20%.
