UK Property Market Sees Strong Start to 2025

The UK property market has entered the New Year with strong momentum, as buyer demand, the number of new sales agreed, and house prices continue to rise, according to Zoopla.

This marks the strongest start to the year in three years, bringing positive news for both buyers and sellers.

Buyer Demand on the Rise

As of early 2025, buyer demand has increased by 13% compared to the same period last year. This suggests that buyers who were previously hesitant are now moving forward with their property plans.

New sales agreed have risen by 12% compared to 2024, while the number of homes listed for sale has grown by 10%. With more properties available and more buyers in the market, the pace of sales is picking up.

This surge in activity has also helped sustain house price growth. The average UK house price is now 2% higher than it was at this time last year, marking the fifth consecutive month of price increases.
