Despite past economic challenges, the UK property market is set to rebound in 2025 with sales prices predicted to rise by 3–3.5%. This growth is attributed to stabilising interest rates and the resurgence of buyer activity. But what’s driving these market conditions?
Favourable Mortgage Conditions – After several years of high rates, 2025 marks a turning point as the Bank of England base rate levels out, making mortgages more affordable.
Long-Term Gains for Investors – Leading forecasts suggest property prices could increase by up to 21.6% between 2024 and 2028. For example, a property worth £278,000 at the start of 2024 could rise to over £338,000 by 2028—a £60,000 capital gain.
