The UK housing market hit a new milestone in April 2025, with house prices soaring to their highest average on record.
For landlords, property owners, and investors, this presents a unique window of opportunity.
At London Estate Agency, we’re helping our clients stay ahead of the curve—maximising rental yields,
selling faster at higher prices, and securing long-term returns in a competitive landscape.
House Prices Surge in 2025: What’s Fueling the Growth?
House prices in the UK have now exceeded an average of £375,000, with demand continuing to outstrip supply.
This ongoing growth is being driven by:
- A shortage of quality homes for sale
- Falling mortgage rates, encouraging more buyers to act now
- A sharp increase in buyer confidence
- The growing need for energy-efficient homes
We use this knowledge to position your property at the right price—attracting serious buyers and generating multiple offers.
Whether you’re selling or letting, we ensure you’re not leaving money on the table.
Regional Breakdown of Average Asking Prices (April 2025):
- East Midlands: £285,000 – Year-on-Year Growth: +6.9%
- South West: £345,000 – Year-on-Year Growth: +6.2%
- North West: £258,000 – Year-on-Year Growth: +7.4%
- London: £670,000 – Year-on-Year Growth: +4.8%
We’ve helped sellers in London and surrounding areas exceed asking price expectations using strategic listings, bespoke marketing, and expert negotiations.
Fewer Listings = Higher Prices – A Seller’s Advantage
The number of properties on the market is still well below pre-pandemic levels.
This tight competition is creating a seller’s market where properly marketed homes are achieving:
- Quicker sales
- Multiple competing offers
- Up to 10% above asking price
- If you’re considering selling, now is the time. With our extensive local network and proactive buyer database,
London Estate Agency quickly gets your property in front of the right people.
