UK home sales up by 53% in a year as changes ‘distort’ market
-
The number of UK house sales surged by 53% last month compared with the year before, new estimates show, but experts cautioned over stamp duty changes “distorting” the market.
Across the UK, there were 101,030 residential transactions in April, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
This compares to 65,960 in the same month in 2025.
The sharp increase was driven by lower levels of activity the year - while separate property taxes apply in Scotland and Wales, the rush to complete sales in England and Northern Ireland before changes to stamp duty kicked in at the start of the month pushed up overall national figures.
