Homes rising in value

April 30, 2026

Recent research has found that half of UK homes increased in value last year.

According to Zoopla, 15.2 million properties gained value by an average of £9,900 in 2025. Within this group, 3.1 million homes saw particularly strong growth, rising by more than £20,000. In contrast, 9.1 million households saw a decrease in value by an average of £10,800.

In England, the North West recorded the highest proportion of homes rising in value (72%), followed by the North East (67%). The South West reported the largest share of homes losing value (46%), closely followed by the South East (44%).

Despite some areas dropping in value, the longer-term picture is more positive for households across the UK; between 2020-2025, the average seller saw their house increase in value by an average of 20%.
