In 2022, house price growth in the UK slowed, after a period of decade-long increase. Nevertheless, in June 2025, prices reached a new peak, with the average home costing ******* British pounds. This figure refers to all property types, including detached, semi-detached, terraced houses, and flats and maisonettes. Compared to other European countries, the UK had some of the highest house prices. How have UK house prices increased over the last 10 years? Property prices have risen dramatically over the past decade. According to the UK house price index, the average house price has grown by over ** percent since 2015. This price development has led to the gap between the cost of buying and renting a property to close. In 2023, buying a three-bedroom house in the UK was no longer more affordable than renting one. Consequently, Brits have become more likely to rent longer and push off making a house purchase until they have saved up enough for a down payment and achieved the financial stability required to make the step. What caused the recent fluctuations in house prices? House prices are affected by multiple factors, such as mortgage rates, supply, and demand on the market. For nearly a decade, the UK experienced uninterrupted house price growth as a result of strong demand and a chronic undersupply. Homebuyers who purchased a property at the peak of the housing boom in July 2022 paid ** percent more compared to what they would have paid a year before. Additionally, 2022 saw the most dramatic increase in mortgage rates in recent history. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the **-year fixed mortgage rate doubled, adding further strain to prospective homebuyers. As a result, the market cooled, leading to a correction in pricing.

Prime London flats in Outer and Central London, have reduced in prices in the period between March 2020 and 2021 and so have the Central London prime houses. Outer London prime houses, regional and coastal prime properties, on the other hand, saw prices grow in the same period. The highest increase in prices was recorded among prime country houses over *** million British pounds. According to the forecast, prime property prices both in Central and in Outer London are expected to increase in the next **** year.

Average second-hand sale prices for prime properties in selected high-performing towns and cities vary greatly across the United Kingdom (UK). The city of Edinburgh had the lowest average second-hand price of ******* British pounds while Beaconsfield and Virginia Water reported the highest prices above ********* British pounds.

It can be seen that prime properties in Scotland had second-hand sale prices below ******* British pounds while in the other regions of the UK, the average prices ranged between ******* and ******* British pounds with the exception of Beaconsfield and Virginia Water.

After a very slow second quarter of 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the housing market in the United Kingdom (UK) experienced dramatic surge in home sales. In the first quarter of 2021, the residential property supply varied between *** and *** months of available stock for sale in different regions of the UK, and *** months in Inner London. Considering the limited supply and the spike in demand, house prices have been on an upward trend.

This is the median house price for residential property sales (all dwellings sold and registered) in a given period of four consecutive quarters, in the area. They are calculated using open data from the HM Land Registry (LR), a source of comprehensive record-level administrative data on property transactions.

They are updated twice a year, in spring and autumn. The LR Price Paid data are comprehensive in that they capture changes of ownership for individual residential properties which have sold for full market value and cover both cash sales and those involving a mortgage.

The median is the value determined by putting all the house sales for a given year, area and type in order of price and then selecting the price of the house sale which falls in the middle.

Note that a transaction occurs when a change of freeholder or leaseholder takes place regardless of the amount of money involved, and a property can transact more than once in the time period. The LR records the actual price for which the property changed hands. This will usually be an accurate reflection of the market value for the individual property, but it is not always the case.

In order to generate statistics that more accurately reflect market values, the LR has excluded records of houses that were not sold at market value from the dataset. The remaining data are considered a good reflection of market values at the time of the transaction.

The LR Price Paid data are not adjusted to reflect the mix of houses in a given area. Fluctuations in the types of house that are sold in that area can cause differences between the median transactional value of houses and the overall market value of houses.

Therefore these statistics differ from the new UK House Price Index (HPI) which reports mix-adjusted average house prices and house price indices.

If, for a given year, house type and area there were fewer than 5 sales records in the LR Price Paid data, the house price statistics are not reported.

• The CORE lettings data include information on the characteristics of both private registered providers and local authority new social housing tenants and the homes they rent. For each year, data is structured into four datasets based on type of letting (social rent general needs and supported needs, and affordable rent general needs and supported needs). It is a regulatory requirement for providers registered with the Homes and Communities Agency to supply the data. For those who are not registered, submissions are voluntary. Local authorities have participated in CORE since 2004-5 on a voluntary basis. Weighting is applied to adjust for non-response by local authorities for social rent datasets, and imputation is also carried out to address item-level non-response of key data on tenant characteristics for both local authorities and privately registered providers. The three datasets for affordable rent are not weighted or imputed.
• The CORE sales data include information on sales of local authority dwellings and some summary details on sales of registered provider stock (previously known as Registered Social Landlords or housing associations). Collecting these data allows for a better understanding of the socio-economic and demographic make-up of affordable housing customers and local housing markets and products. The sales dataset is imputed, with more information on the imputations within the data dictionary.

• For the standard End User Licence (EUL) version (SNs 9237 and 9238), the geographic level of the data is set at Government Office Region (GOR).

Residential building contractors are contingent on the propensity of property developers to invest in new ventures; movements in property prices; government schemes intended to boost the housing supply; and underlying sentiment in the housing market. Industry contractors have endured turbulent operating conditions over the past five years, leading to volatile shifts in revenue and profitability. Revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.4% over the five years through 2025-26, reaching £100.5 billion. The pandemic caused a significant drop in output in 2020-21, as restrictions placed on on-site activity and fewer enquiries for new housing units reduced revenue opportunities. Aided by government support for the housing market and the release of pent-up demand, 2021-22 was characterised by a strong rebound in activity, though materials and labour shortages maintained constraints on output. Mounting supply chain disruption and heightened economic uncertainty maintained pressure on output in the following year, though revenue growth was maintained by growth in average selling prices. Interest rate hikes and inflationary pressures led to a more subdued housing market in 2022-23, holding back the number of housing starts and completions during the year. This was followed by a slump in new residential building construction in the following year, as high borrowing costs and uncertain market conditions caused developers to scale back investment plans. The new Labour government has put forth ambitious housing targets, leading to planning reforms, increased funding for SME housebuilders and a particular focus on affordable housing to speed up housing delivery. Even though economic conditions continue to affect investor sentiment, supportive supply-side policies are anticipated to boost revenue growth by 0.5% in 2025-26. This growth is expected to also be fuelled by an uptick in new orders for residential building construction, coupled with a rise in average selling prices. Revenue is slated to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to reach £112.5 billion over the five years through 2030-31. Housebuilding activity is set to grow in the medium-term, aided by the release of pent-up demand. Nonetheless, significant uncertainty remains, with mortgage rates likely to settle well-above pre-pandemic levels and supply chains remaining fragile. The new government’s pledge to deliver 1.5 million houses during the first five years of parliament will boost demand for industry contractors, though the full impact of this on growth prospects is dependent on the nature and extent of accompanying funding plans.

The average purchase price of a property by United Kingdom buyers in the United States increased significantly between 2010 and 2021. In 2021, buyers from the United Kingdom paid ******* U.S. dollars on average for American properties.

The Real Estate Adaptation and Innovation within an integrated Retailing system (REPAIR) project, conducted at the University of Glasgow and University of Sheffield, investigated the changes experienced across the retail cores of five UK cities Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Liverpool and Nottingham between 2000 and 2021. The project examined different aspects of the property market and built environment across four separate work streams. In this work stream, the conceptual framework was developed from an assemblage approach, to examine the involvement of key professional stakeholder groups to explore the ways the social structures may work to create unique retailing destinations, or to hinder adaptive capacity.

The retail sector is crucial to the economic health and vitality of towns and cities and is a core component of the national economy, but is experiencing an ongoing period of change and the challenges faced by centres are being met in different ways, with different outcomes. Consumers are behaving, shopping and using urban centres in new and diverse ways and many retailing centres have experienced falling footfall, retailer closures and a rise in empty retail units. In an attempt to reverse the cycle of decline, centres need to be multi-functional places and policy-makers are encouraging more mixed use development. Large-scale mixed-use re-development of obsolete stock, novel temporary land uses, events and public realm works are being used to try to make urban centres more attractive and increase their competitive edge. Yet, not everyone is experiencing the benefits of these changes. Mistrust, tension and conflict can arise from land use changes and become barriers to further renewal and change, limiting the effectiveness of these "town centre first" policies. A recent ESRC-funded study undertaken by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University blamed these tensions and lack of co-operation as significant contributors to the continued declined of retailing in many centres (Parker, 2015).

This project seeks to explore one of the largest stakeholder groups within the sector. The objectives and behaviour of land and property owners, developers and investors are significant to the use and form of retailing centres. The project explores how ownership and the behaviour of this stakeholder group impact on the sector, by exploring issues around changing ownership and use patterns; innovations in design form; the ability of the industry to respond to change; and the ways the group engages and interacts with other stakeholders in urban centres. Thus, it aims to examine how their expectations, perceptions, practices and co-operation help or limit experimentation with new uses, building types and designs.

The research will explore issues around: whether retailers and landlords in city centres are becoming more or less diverse; whether new design formats, flexible uses and large scale redevelopments can help struggling centres; the extent to which established practices and procedures in the real estate market encourage or even hinder new uses; and whether stakeholders can work together in better ways for the future health of town and city centres. These issues will be examined using five case study cities over the period 1997-2017: Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Sheffield and Nottingham.

The project will bring together different data that has not been available previously, to map, measure and identify any links between changes in land and building use, vacancy and ownership over the last 20 years. It will analyse and identify new developments and novel land and building uses and designs and, by talking to developers, designers, planners and occupiers, the researchers will identify the factors shaping these changes and how they impact on cities and shoppers. The project will examine established real estate market practices, such as lease lengths, rent review terms, repair obligations and use clauses to see how adaptable the industry is to change when shoppers and retailers want new and unusual property uses and forms. Finally, the researchers will talk to different centre users, managers and owners to explore how relationships might work well or badly and identify good practice for the creation of new developments and adaptions to the existing building stock to help the retail sector in cities.

According to Cognitive Market Research, The Global Property Management Service market was estimated at USD 14.5 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% from 2023 to 2030. Rising Demands for SaaS-based Property Management Software to Expand Market Penetration

Subscription-based SaaS solutions benefit companies of all sizes. Businesses increasingly use SaaS solutions to optimize operations by automating workflows and removing manual input. Businesses can also lower the cost and complexity of on-premises deployment by installing SaaS solutions. SaaS software assists large multifamily property management organizations integrate several technologies across their portfolio. In addition, the SaaS model is crucial for multi-vendor device compatibility with legacy systems.

For instance, Planon collaborated with AddOnn in March 2021 to combine AddOnn's SaaS solution with Planon's software platform for building and service digitalization to provide end-to-end solutions to end-users worldwide.

Employees in real estate organizations rely on up-to-date information to make vital decisions. SaaS systems allow users to access information from any location and device with internet connectivity. A SaaS platform can help property managers link their property solutions with sophisticated payment services for quick and easy transactions.

Evolving Trends of Workforce Mobility to Strengthen Market Share

Many employees nowadays prefer to work from home rather than in offices, corporate headquarters, or a global company branch. This contributes to the need for flexible access to office resources and data. Besides, organizations are using virtual workplaces to reduce their physical infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum, allowing them to be more flexible and use their office space better. Many businesses seek mobility, workplace, and other integrated facility management solutions. This enables property managers to retain productivity while working with a huge crew. These solutions can be used by associated real estate agents & property managers to maintain track of all the properties they manage and the routine maintenance that needs to be performed on them. As a result, the rising trend of workplace mobility is propelling the property management service industry forward.

For instance, Entrata Inc. reported the integration of Alexa with residential buildings in April 2021. This integration would enable property managers to monitor or set up Alexa-enabled devices in each unit, allowing them to create voice-controlled automated homes.

Market Dynamics of Property Management Service

Integration Complexity and Data Security Concerns to Limit Market Growth

One significant restraint property management software services face is the complexity of integrating with existing systems and databases. Many property management companies already have established tools for accounting, tenant communication, maintenance tracking, and more. Implementing new software solutions can lead to compatibility challenges and difficulties in transferring data seamlessly. Furthermore, as property management software handles sensitive information such as tenant details, financial records, and property documents, ensuring robust data security becomes critical. Any breaches or unauthorized access can lead to legal consequences, financial losses, and company reputation damage.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Property Management Service Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the property management service market, introducing shifts in tenant behavior, remote work trends, and economic uncertainties that prompted property managers to adapt their strategies. Lockdowns and travel restrictions decreased demand for short-term rentals, while remote work trends increased the significance of property amenities and flexible leasing options. Property managers incorporated virtual tours, contactless services, and enhanced sanitation measures to address safety concerns. Moreover, the pandemic accelerated the adoption of proptech solutions for remote property monitoring and digital communication, reshap...

The median purchase prices of residential property by buyers from the United Kingdom in the United States fluctuated between 2010 to 2021. In 2021, buyers from the UK paid a median price of ******* thousand U.S. dollars for American properties.

Revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 2% over the five years through 2025 to €44.7 billion. This is mostly the result of COVID-19 restrictions dampening downstream demand in 2020. While 2021 saw some recovery, poor economic conditions since 2022 have stifled any significant recovery, continuing to weigh on the industry’s revenue performance. In 2025, revenue is slated to dip by 1.1% owing to the cooling housing market, despite significant investment in civil engineering projects across Europe. Despite public funding and support for new residential properties, a weaker housing market has limited stone and aggregates demand from property developers. This is primarily the result of persistently high interest rates, inhibiting borrowing and investing. Another key factor is the decline in cement and concrete manufacturing (two key downstream markets) in Europe since 2021, according to CEMBUREAU, owing to construction companies moving towards lower embedded CO2 construction materials. Still, revenue has been propped up by growing demand from non-construction markets, like glass manufacturers, fertiliser manufacturers and other industrial and building-environment solutions applications (like sand and gravel being used to prevent coastline erosion) Over the five years through 2030, revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.5%, to €50.7 billion. Economic conditions are likely to remain fairly weak in the short to medium term as inflation remains above the universal 2% target. The elevated rate of inflation will ensure central banks delay any reductions in the base rate, keeping the cost of borrowing high for would-be home buyers. Weaker demand for houses will contribute to weak price performance and disincentivise developers from increasing production, weighing on activity levels in the construction sector. However, pockets of opportunity will remain in alternative uses of stone, clay, gravel and sand.
