UK's property value hotspots

North-south divide emerges in study of 2025's housing market trends

- 

Around half of the UK's 30 million homes increased in value in 2025, according to estimates by a property website.

Around 15.2 million homes registered an increase in value of 1% or more, averaging a £9,900 increase, Zoopla said.

Some 3.1 million homeowners saw the value of their property increase by £20,000 or more, it added.

Meanwhile, around 9.1 million homes lost at least 1% of their value last year, with an average loss of £10,800.

And 5.6 million homes maintained their value to within plus or minus 1%, according to Zoopla.

The website found “clear cut” differences across the UK, with more than 70% of homeowners in northern regions of England, as well as in Scotland and Northern Ireland, recording value gains for their homes.

In Northern Ireland, 94% of homes were estimated to have experienced price increases last year, at an average of £14,200.
