1. Headline statistics for March 2025

Estimates for the most recent months are provisional and are likely to be updated as more data is incorporated into the index. Read Revisions to the UK HPI data.

In September 2024鈥檚 release, UK House Price Index (UK HPI) estimates were revised from January 2022 onwards by making use of price data processed outside the UK HPI鈥檚 normal 12-month revision period. In October 2024鈥檚 release, UK HPI returned to the usual聽12-month revision period. Users should be aware that revisions may be larger than usual and should note the significantly greater uncertainty around new build prices.

Previously, UK HPI had a reference period of January 2015. In February 2025鈥檚 release, UK HPI鈥檚 reference period was updated to January 2023, so UK HPI indices now report January 2023 equals 100. Re-referencing ensures the UK HPI reflects the price of the 鈥渁verage鈥� property currently being sold and shifts the entire price level series for each geography and breakdown by a constant percentage without affecting inflation rates.

2. Economic statement

Average UK house price annual inflation was 6.4% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to March 2025, up from the revised estimate of 5.5% in the 12 months to February 2025.

The average UK house price was 拢271,000 in March 2025 (provisional estimate), which is 拢16,000 higher than 12 months ago. Average house prices in the 12 months to March 2025 increased in England to 拢296,000 (6.7%), increased in Wales to 拢208,000 (3.6%) and increased in Scotland to 拢186,000 (4.6%). The average house price increased in the year to Q1 (Jan to Mar) 2025 to 拢185,000 in Northern Ireland (9.5%).

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average UK house prices increased by 1.1% between February 2025 and March 2025, compared with an increase of 0.2% in the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in the UK increased by 1.4% between February 2025 and March 2025.

Of English regions, annual house price inflation was highest in the North East, where prices increased by 14.3% in the 12 months to March 2025. London was the English region with the lowest annual inflation, where prices increased by 0.8% in the 12 months to March 2025.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors鈥� (RICS鈥�) reported that buyer enquiries and agreed sales indicators moved deeper into negative territory. RICS also reported that house prices were largely flattening out over the past few months across most parts of the UK, although Scotland and Northern Ireland continued to show a more resilient upward trend.

贬惭搁颁鈥檚 UK Property Transactions Statistics showed that in March 2025, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the estimated number of transactions of residential properties with a value of 拢40,000 or greater was 177,000. This is 104.3% higher than 12 months ago (March 2024). Between February 2025 and March 2025, UK transactions increased by 61.7% on a seasonally adjusted basis. On a non-seasonal basis, HMRC reported that transactions volumes increased by 89% and 47% in England and Northern Ireland, respectively, while volumes increased by only 15% and 19% in Scotland and Wales, respectively. The sharp increase in UK transactions volumes in March 2025 (particularly in England and Northern Ireland) to levels not seen since 2021 (when previous changes to Stamp Duty occurred), likely reflects buyers rushing to complete property purchases before the 1 April 2025 Stamp Duty changes in England and Northern Ireland.

The release reported that mortgage approvals for house purchases, an indicator of future borrowing, decreased for the third consecutive month, with a fall of 800 to 64,300 in March 2025.

The reported a subdued sales market where potential buyers are uncertain about the economic environment. The increase in Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) from April has not had a significant effect on the timing of transaction in England and Northern Ireland.

4. Sales volumes

In 2024, HMLR successfully returned to processing over 40% of HM Revenue & Customs鈥� provisional sales estimate for UK HPI鈥檚 first estimate (the target specified in the UK HPI Quality and Methodology guidance). UK HPI sales volume estimates for older periods and new builds remain lower than historical averages, but continue to improve. Users should be aware that revisions may be larger than historically and should note the greater uncertainty around new build prices.

Potential methodology improvements are being investigated, aimed at reducing revisions in UK HPI estimates. Read more in ONS鈥� .

4.1 Sales volumes

Number of sales volumes by country

Provisional UK HPI estimates for March 2025 are based on approximately 58,600 records for England, 6,400 for Scotland, and 1,800 for Wales. This represents 41% of 贬惭搁颁鈥檚 provisional sales estimate for March 2025, as detailed in their Monthly property transactions completed in the UK with value of 拢40,000 or above estimates. Over time, more records will become available for recent periods, which will be used to revise UK HPI estimates and sales volumes, in line with the revision policy published by the ONS and HMLR.

Sales estimates from UK HPI differ from estimates from HMRC because of different data sources, revision period size and coverage. 贬惭搁颁鈥檚 Quality report states there are likely to be inaccuracies in their data because of reporting or keying errors, such as misclassification between residential and non-residential transactions. However, HMRC take steps to reduce this measurement error. Another reason for differences could be that residential property transactions, where the buyer or seller is a corporate body, company or business, are excluded from UK HPI data, but included in HMRC data.

Further information on data sources, revision policy, methods and quality is available in HMLR鈥檚鈥�UK HPI guidance.

9. About the UK House Price Index

The UK House Price Index (UK HPI) is calculated by the Office for National Statistics and Land & Property Services Northern Ireland. Find out about the methodology used to create the UK HPI.

Data for the UK House Price Index is provided by HM Land Registry, , and the Valuation Office Agency.

Find out more about the UK House Price Index.

A key determinant of house prices is the demographic characteristics of the area in which the property is located. The UK HPI uses the socio-demographic classification, known as Acorn, in the hedonic regression model to measure the affluence of the area.

Prior to 20 December 2023鈥檚 publication, property transactions in Great Britain were excluded from the regression model if their Acorn classification was missing. From 20 December 2023鈥檚 publication, these properties are included in the regression model from January 2023鈥檚 data onwards, but are given less weight in the calculations, as described above. This methodology improvement aligns how transactions with missing Acorn classification are used in the Great Britain model and Northern Ireland model, increasing coherence across the UK and improving the quality of UK HPI statistics.
