UK house price investment trends

Where UK house prices are rising and falling, ranked across all UK property sales. Figures are the change in the median sold price over the latest 12 months of data (to 2026), so they aren't skewed by the odd very-high sale.

Retrospective price movement now; forward-looking indicators (new-build activity, planning) are being added. Tap any area for its full breakdown.

Method. Change is the median sold price over the most recent 12 months of data versus the 12 months before — computed the same way as each area's own page, so the figures match. Medians (not averages) avoid distortion by unusual sales. HM Land Registry data lags, so the most recent month or two are provisional; figures track the mix of what sold, not a like-for-like index.
