Property news

Buying, selling or renting? Explore the latest property news, market updates and insightful analysis for the UK housing market with Zoopla's property experts.

  1. We expect a stronger than usual start to 2026 as buyers return to the market after the Autumn Budget and seasonal slowdown. The appetite to move home remains strong, but house prices will be kept in check by affordability constraints throughout the market.

  2. We track the speed of property sales across the UK and, while the housing market may be slowing, some homes are still flying off the shelves. Here’s where buyers move the fastest and where sellers may need a little more patience.

  3. Since October 2020, just under 2.5 million homes across the UK have jumped in value by £100,000 or more. That’s the equivalent of earning at least £55 a day and a striking reminder of how dramatically the housing market has shifted in recent years.
