AROUND one in every 20 homes for sale in Britain is now priced at £1 million-plus, according to a property website.

- VICKY SHAW

Rightmove said the number of homes for sale at a seven-figure price point has doubled in the past six years.

It recorded a 103% increase in homes at this price point between January and April 2025, compared with the same period in 2019.

Just over 5% of homes for sale across Britain are now priced at a million pounds or more, compared with just under 3% in 2019, Rightmove said.

In London commuter-belt locations such as St Albans, Windsor and Maidenhead, Three Rivers, and Waverley, around one in every five homes for sale now has a million-pound price tag.
